Pros
Friendly coworkers with international vibes Good entry workplace for setting in Berlin for ex-pats No hard work - same jobs for years (so everyone is happy and goes home at 5 pm sharp)
Cons
Due to the pros, no competition, which means no challenges or development in your career, so no competitive salary or chances whatsoever. The basic salary is barely minimum wage - except for some German employees at high management levels (obviously). There is no such thing called 'salary negotiation' for almost everyone since it's easily replaceable. (Or management never agrees to it or even gets weirdly emotional....) Potsdam, not the city center - out of nowhere. If you miss your scheduled train or bus, you could waste your commuting time for 1.5 hours or more depending on where you live (except Potsdam residents) One HR person for a long time over 100 employees. There is NO support for international people - you have to do everything on your own (they give you papers that you need though). There is no development support - they gave us Linkedin access but they got rid of it because we don't find it worth it - but never gave us an alternative. No German language course or anything similar ever. Management doesn't give up authority - they want to check everything saying no or yes. So employees feel like just a tool to support their decision.
