Pros

- Noble mission of the company to help doctors cover more people and make health care more accessible - Some very nice people and good culture overall, many managers and senior managers care about the employees - Generally, no huge stress

Cons

- Some gatekeepers who actually lack technical knowledge and are very impolite, they block numerically good technical initiatives without a reason and very aggressively - Reinventing the wheel in multiple places in the code and not using community standards sometimes - The offices and people in France have too much power in the company blocking initiatives and work coming from Germany - All the above makes it hard to show your skills and grow in the company... - The company raised salaries to lure new hires and didn't raise the current employees to match that raise (even partially) - Insisting on no remote work from outside Germany (except 2 weeks a year now) and a big push towards hybrid with 2 or 3 days per week in office - Some really toxic and unfair managers, minority but if you unlucky and work with them it is very bad...
