Pros
- Free drinks and a nice office – the basic startup kit.
Cons
- The company’s management has neither the experience nor the skills to run it. - The way the company treats its employees is shockingly bad – I have seen HR (HR!!!) respond to an email thread mocking a question or comment done by other employees. - The salaries are also incredibly low, and I came from other startups in Berlin, so I know this is low even for the industry standards. - The promises about pay rises or promotions were either never kept or postponed for years. - The company promised an attractive bonus system before signing the contract – not only were the bonuses designed to be almost impossible to achieve, they were eliminated within a few months, with nothing to replace them. - The environment inside the company is really bad. - Big salary gap between Germans and non-Germans. Also, the treatment given to German employees is very different to the one given to people from other countries, and this type of discrimination is very frustrating in a company that prides itself to be international and fun. If you are wondering why there are so many good reviews on this website, it’s because HR asks the employees to review the company during the first days of their employment, when employees have encountered very few conflicts.
