Pros
+ Management training for most employees in 2011 + Free breakfast, lunch, beer, cake
Cons
- CEO makes and revokes decisions based on his gut feeling, buys advertising for tens of thousands of euros for landing sites that were not yet online or finished - CEO tells you in private that he knows that his middle management is filled with idiots, but does nothing about it - The management is a mess, everyone (even if not involved) is invited to project meetings - Frustration everywhere, most talented people already left the company - Internal reporting is filtered by multiple stages, you can basically lie that your project is 100% on track, even when its not - Decision memos are prepared every few month and are being ignored by the management - Internal Communication non-existant - Lots of former employees of 1&1 which brought lots of negative vibes and management styles to the company - Fired around 100 people in 2011 because they did not know how to end the internal struggles - Company structure changes frequently, because the management does not get that they are the problem, not the company structure - The free beer is of no use anymore, because there is no one motivated to stay to socialise - Technical infrastructure very old and crappy, but its too late to replace it - Limited carrer opportunities, you can be a team-leader or project manager, thats basically it
