Pros

Salary is quite high, but does not make difference because the living costs in Munich are very high.

Cons

I worked there for 6 months in MyDriver team and got fired for oppressive and unfair reasons. 1. No on-boarding process and knowledge share, just ask for everything and some people don't share complete information with you!!. 2. Discriminative treatment for developers based on their seniority level, new comers and juniors are required to give time estimations for tasks while seniors aren't (The New Scrum Methodology!!). 3. They have very high firing rate, 3 people in my team then me were kicked off in 6 months!. 4. Most of the employees are unhappy specially in my team. 5. They ask for working overtime and weekend work even if there is no need for it (Scrum master asked me several times to work overtime just to show motivation!!) as if working 8 hrs a day and delivering and committing to work does not show it. 6. Product owner is unfriendly, disrespectful and always says impolite words at work. 7. No correct scrum is followed . 8. Not productive work environment: Product owner and Management in general always disturb developers with any idea comes to his mind and communicate in a disrespectful and rude way, sometimes even he leaves the the conversation if you talk to him and just goes!!. 9. It is hard to get an approved holiday in my team, this happened to me and to other colleagues. 10. Unfair evaluation for bonus, many people including me was oppressed in evaluating them. 11. Company location is bad, it is out of town, and you can only reach it with train which comes only 3 times and hour and always comes late or even cancelled specially in Winter. 12. The city of Munich is so expensive to live in and it is hard to find a home there specially if you don't speak German. 13. They give quite high salary but don't be so happy with it since you will spend a lot in living costs, so living in another city with lower salary can be even better. 14. After getting fired HR employees were not helpful and don't reply to emails, unless after very long time, it took me 2 months after being fired to get all my papers.

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

Pros

It's an unrecognized job by management, they don't care about you unless you make them more money so they get bonuses. All they care about is performance metrics, no matter what you do to your co-workers.

Cons

Expected to work in an outdated color arrangement that is mostly black. When it's 100 degrees out, on hot asphalt, not ideal. They expect you to log the tiniest damage so that they can bill the customer. Do they not take depreciation on the cars. Their fuel gages are wonky and don't work right. I believe they are charging customers for fuel when they shouldn't.
