Pros
Talented, cooperative, and congenial colleagues. Lots of learning opportunities. Travel opportunities to Germany. High flexibility. No mandatory return to the office post-COVID.
Cons
Promotion opportunities were nonexistent, with management unable to provide valid reasons for repeated denials. Compensation was significantly below the standard market rate. The company originally had a smaller, more personable culture, which was nearly ruined by the takeover. Middle management exhibited political behavior, often conveying inconsistent messages to different stakeholders. There was an apparent preparation for a potential sale of the company, leading to cost-cutting measures affecting lower-level employees disproportionately, while higher-level management remained unaffected.
