Appreciate the feedback. Sorry you didn't have a positive experience in the Accounting function. I would be happy to speak with you to see where our leadership and the company fell short. The People Team and I are here in service to the business and if we're not meeting our value proposition for our people we need to understand where the failure points are so we can solve.

Pros

As we go through an evolution within the org, I feel like I'm kept in the loop. There's an open line of communication throughout teams and levels. Additionally, I feel like my contributions are acknowledged and appreciated. Perhaps most importantly, they love promoting from within. I've seen numerous, well-deserved promotions in my time here. Makes me feel like our hard work is rewarded.

Cons

Standard pandemic-caused issue: Wish we could have more in-person events and meetings. But, the leadership team is focused on ensuring employees feel safe—which is rightly the prime concern.

Pros

- Very good work-life balance - Not too much pressure - There are almost never incidents outside of working hours - 100% remote work is an option - Possibility to work as a contractor - Pay can be very good, depending on the specific country, if living outside Germany - One time budget for home office setup - Freedom to choose technologies on a department level

Cons

- Huge turnover of people, like a revolving door - A lot of long, useless meetings - Zero emphasis on the quality of the product - There is no QA team nor any QA phase - everything is tested manually by developers, even after 15 years - As a result of bad quality, a lot of time and effort is wasted on recurring support tickets and bug fixing - A lot of legacy architecture - software system spans 3 different cloud/hosting providers and there are a lot of unfinished migrations from technology A to technology B - A lot of legacy code problems with no incentive to resolve them, but people are rather co-existing with them and leaving an obstacle to stumble on for generations to come - CTO has a lot of years of experience, but has zero empathy and instead of leading, he is just whip-cracking - Salary is below average for Berlin market and for higher income countries
