Pros

all possible benefits for employees: modern fancy office restaurant fridges filled with food and snacks massages fitness room Isar card

Cons

- onboarding very close to 0 - very low competence level in the team, only 1 person in the team had a very limited direct expertise / education - no OKRs, no performance review system - one person's limited judgement was a base for evaluating your overall work (without you knowing) - no functioning feedback or mistake culture: the feedback provided was so misleading and non professional, that you had to call back and check, what the overall message was - 0 clarity, learning culture and knowledge transfer for the cross-functional tasks - no adapted processes and effective tools for company's new realities and structures -no common modern software for the department. Rudimentary tasks had to be done manually, mistake potential was super high, but this fact was just not accepted and downplayed as unimportant -TeamLead not speaking German, very limited English and had 0 knowledge of HR and German social system and labor legislation or practices. - very rude and hysterical offboarding
