Pros

Back in the days, there were several transitions to bring tasks from other countries. As a result, opportunities to travel to those countries and learn there were created.

Cons

It is a highly sexist company. Director Carlos has a WhatsApp group with other men to organize football games, but in this group, they only share offensive things about women - shared by the director himself - which does not set a good example. I was sexually harassed by my manager on several occasions, despite having excellent performance, I received a rating of 2 in my evaluation because I did not go out to dinner with him (knowing that 3 is the baseline rating that a woman on maternity leave receives). Director Carlos and other employees went to a strip club when they were in Latin America. During a World Cup football match between Portugal and Morocco, Director Carlos said, ‘They should be selling carpets’ referring to the Moroccans. Overall, horrible leadership. And, of course, only friends of the managers are promoted. Lack of Staff: I worked countless overtime hours, often leaving early in the morning.

Pros

If you enjoy going to the gym at lunch time, getting maternity and paternity leave and not work after 6p, that’s for you. If you are an intern or a first time job, that’s fantastic because it is like a summer camp. If you are a performance driven, result driven individual with a strong vision, they will crush you.

Cons

The company is located in a small village in the middle of Germany. Most employees have been working there forever and don’t realize that they sell products to a global audience. They can’t think globally. They don’t value external perspective. It’s a very old German company obsessed with rules over results, very hierarchical, where employees have to ask permission for everything. People are under stress because they can’t own any decisions and are screamed at or hit on the hands for personal initiatives. They behave like sheeps for fear of not following the rules. People become VPs or Senior Directors without any credentials and are very poor leaders. Diversity is non-existent (C suite except for HR is male only with C people who have been 20 years with the company). If you strip off the sports, it’s an old musty company with a lot of employees who are losing their confidence in themselves because they have been there too long. Also for a company who just moved their digital capability two years ago, they are not very open to using new external technology tools. As a manager today, I wouldn’t hire anyone coming from adidas who stayed more than one year!
