Pros

Pay was ok. Decent autonomy.

Cons

Management actively reduced head count and employed more freelancers specifically to be able to fire people without Kündigungsschutz. Used it for layoffs with minimal severance. Unnecessarily threatened employees with legal action. Nights and Weekends on-call without pay.

Pros

Never saw any pros in this company

Cons

- Unusal firing of people after putting them in PIP as the manager has his favourites and benefits the same. - Too much office politics - No systematic work flow - No space for employees to sit, you have to book your seat and then come to office as if it’s a train seat
