Pros

Notebooksbilliger is quite cozy, mid-sized German company selling computers and peripherals, where I was a software engineer. Since I spending most of the day at my work computer, I think it makes sense to start listing the advantages from this side. It's very important for me that it is as powerful and fast as possible device. To my pleasant surprise, here I was provided with a top laptop model of my favorite series. Of course, the productivity of working with such a computer increases significantly and this gave me strong motivation to write good code, from the first day. Regarding the salary, I want to highlight this point as one of the advantages. Competitive enough amount. Money was transferring to a bank account without any delays, often even earlier than expected, which gives financial confidence in the future. In addition, the company has the possibility to revise the compensation upward. Like many IT companies, there is a certain amount of legacy code here. I'm sure, this point could exist in the disadvantages section of any company. Therefore, I believe that this point should be estimated according to another principle - the possibility of refactoring and improving the quality of such code, cleaning up dead code, and existing processes to do this. I consider this point to the advantage because I had this opportunity and during my work, the quality of the code has improved significantly. I'm sure they'll keep this trend. While I was working for this company, we had to overcome many external obstacles. Here I would like to pay attention to the most perceptible of them - the coronavirus pandemic. This example shows in practice an excellent attitude towards employees. In this difficult time, many of us were filling difficulties with communications, since we were working from home and didn't have the opportunity to discuss problems with colleagues in person. I would like to thank the management of the company and, of course, special gratitude to my team for all the measures and ideas taken in order, to make this period as easy as possible. In addition, during a pandemic, all of us could feel safe, thanks to timely information about threats and other activities to protect against the virus. The tasks, from the developer's point of view, are quite interesting, allowing to grow and develop professionally. There were also quite difficult tasks, but there was always support and help from colleagues. I am pleased to recommend this company as an employer.

Cons

Some not very large number of routine tasks. However, from my point of view, this is a good opportunity to prove yourself and offer solutions for automating such processes. I note that such ideas are welcome here.

Pros

If you count free water and beverages as a pros then this is only pros I saw while Iam working there, oh also the location of the company is ok if you live in the west side of Berlin.

Cons

From the first day, I found the developers inside the company feel not satisfied at all, most of them complaining alot or not caring at all. If you want to work in this company get prepared to work on the most crazy legacy code you will ever see, enormous database that most developers don't know anything about it if you ask about something. Also get prepare inside the company to see developers talking bad about each other's and get ready also to work with the most inexperienced developers (supposly senior developers) that know nothing about building a big software or manage it at least. also no benefitsfor the employees that I can mention and the salary not that good. You will find that few devs control everything, and inresult for that they have the power for everything in the project, so the "PO" of the team can't say anything regarding of that and he just agree for everything they say or propose. you will find that they desperately looking for new devs to join the team as the turn over is high, some new devs join and leaves in few weeks.
