Pros

The office was nice, and they organized activities to connect employees, like special breakfasts every 15 days for new folks, Nachtklub, queer parties, and such. We got 3 free lunches weekly, and the cafeteria was lovely! The vibe was awesome. They also encouraged learning by sending us to events, courses, and getting study materials. People were friendly and open to chatting and brainstorming new stuff.

Cons

There aren't many growth opportunities, and despite having many benefits (free lunch, German classes, semi-annual bonus, and L&D budget), it's not enough; the pay is a bit low. The headquarters are in Berlin, but there seems to be a differentiation between Europe and the United States, as everything important/interesting happens in the United States and not in Berlin. There were also many layoffs and quite a bit of uncertainty among employees. For months, we worked under a lot of stress, and there were quite a few disagreements with the former executives. The CEO has now changed, but I left too soon to know if it was good enough.
