Pros

Bonuses that compensate low basic salary, flexibility with home office

Cons

Things went really quickly downhills in 2022, worst thing is lack of appreciation, you feel worthless yet with huge work overload and it led me to a proper burnout. They promote themselves as "kws family" and "make yourself grow" while you are only treated as a number and only thing they make you is desperate. Promotions given are not transparent at all, managers are incompentent with huge ego. Chaos is everywhere and turnover of the people is huge in every department so if you are there for a longer time you train everyone and its part of your daily job.
