Pros

- Culture of freedom and autonomy - Good people to work with

Cons

- All over the place strategy wise - 0 job security. After being brought in to drive revenue ops for a new team, I worked extremely hard to amalgamate myself in the business. My feedback was highly positive and I even got told that probation would be a pass, no issue. 2 weeks before my probation period was due to end (AFTER i had had my successful probation chat), I then randomly got an invite to a meeting with HR, in which I was told the company was restructuring and as I was still in probation period, I was the one to go in the team. My manager actually started crying in the meeting because the situation was so bizarre. What made it worse is that upon joining 6 months prior, I had read reviews like this and brought it up in the interview stage, and was re-assured this was not the case - Literally 0 job security - same thing happened to several colleagues who joined (both before and after me!)

Pros

Good office in a good location. My team members were great.

Cons

Lack of PMF outside of Germany. Senior leadership team that change their mind depending on the day of the week and who shouts the loudest which causes so many issues for other teams trying to pivot to follow. Too many consultant types at the top lacking real commercial knowledge. Far too much attention to detail on everything which sacrifices speed of execution. Unmeasurable goals set for teams which erodes confidence of achievement. Far too many employees for the size of the business because there are too many meaningless processes
