Pros

- The product is technically strong and recognised in certain markets; - Average to good salaries, but the company hosts several prizes every year; - Great culture.

Cons

- In some other market, product is pretty much ignored; - Management isn't skilled enough, in some case; - Must be based close to an office, if you want to enjoy the company culture.

Pros

- motivating company culture - many outdoor activities - working with multiple teams in different countries on projects

Cons

- outdoor activities in germany include tons of alcohol - over self-gratification: all products are always the best in the world on an organisation level announcement, reality is quite different. - low salaries compared to job market - job safety is a major concern in some offices -Documentation is a nightmare, goodluck tracing something someone did a month ago
