Pros

Groses Internationales Unternehmen relocation services are really positive

Cons

- You have to pay for sportsfacilities contrary to competitor Nike - You can be fired easily in probabtion period and employer does not care and sends you back to your home country without proper dismissal package contrary to NIKE EMEA. This is not mentioned upon hiring. Application policyis easy for foreigners but firing is just as easy in the probation period of six months foreign employees can be fired without a reason even by good performance mobbing is just really easy, adidas does not care about the employee afterwards as it has a strong reputation it can treat employees like trash. After the legal period of three weeks they provide you with an excellent Zeugniss as you are not able to sew anymore. - Adidas lets expats pay 50% taxes istead of 40% by not telling them in what wage tax forms they have to fill out. - Adidas has resources for Bonus Schemes but not for docking stations and there is no money for post its - No free beverages like Coffee - No flexible desks that support people with back injuries - No introduction onboarding program on the job done by colleages, the first six month adidas tests foreign employees and when unfit they send them back to the home country and no labor agency notices these pratices. - Germany has a high Tax rate 40%
