Pros
The hiring process moves fast. I went from application to offer within a week, which felt exciting at the time.
Cons
The speed of hiring turned out to be a red flag. What I didn't know when I joined was that the company had already gone through two rounds of layoffs (information that was never disclosed during the interview process). Six weeks into the role, I was let go along with roughly half the Berlin office in yet another "restructuring." Beyond the instability, the day-to-day environment was genuinely difficult. Collaboration was minimal, the culture felt toxic, and leadership seemed to operate without any coherent long-term vision, constantly shifting direction with no clear strategy. One more thing worth flagging: HR actively encouraged new starters to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor and other platforms. Make of that what you will when reading the glowing reviews.
