Pros

The work culture is relaxed. In Germany they have recently got a grant from US to boost their business, so they are actively hiring. Some of the people are really helpful and integrating. All in all, a great overall experience if you are looking to start your career or looking to progress it in the field of e-commerce.

Cons

German language requirement. If you are someone who is not German or do not know German language that much, then prepare yourself for a somewhat rough journey ahead. Again, not everyone is like that, but most of the time, besides work, you will feel isolated.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
