Lufthansa "Startup" for data science - Anonymous employee ZeroG Employee Review

Many people with very little real-work experience sometimes produce really weird ideas and discussing those can be very exhausting. Project placement inside Lufthansa turns the company into a body-leasing shop where you'll get the tasks to pick hot coals out of the fire external consultants stoke up. Airline experience is not very valuable in Germany since Lufthansa is pretty much the only game in the country. Company expects you to work on often confusing and poorly budgeted internal "projects" after you did your "8 hours or more" on the project, earning consulting fees. Although ZeroG is a startup it doesn't have a product and it's purely a consulting focused organization belonging to Lufthansa Systems. There are no stock options and with ZeroG you'll be "internal external", or "pale-yellow" person, who's Lufthansa employee and not really a Lufthansa employee (e.g. you get some flight benefits but much worse than Lufthansa Passage). Professional development is pretty poor. In the past year or so nobody I know received any technical trainings from a leading technology vendor, instead there's a "library" and company purchased some $10 Udemy courses. Project roles also won't give you much room to grow.
