Highly dynamic organization due to a growing cloud business. You will find highly motivated and competitive engineers and a working environment. The company expects to give you your sweat and blood in return for a decent pay. The company also expects you to embrace its leadership principles in full, from which you can learn a great deal – especially about frugality and customer obsession. A good place to learn and excel yourself.

Long working hours with decent stock options. Work-life balance is a myth here. Although managers try hard to show they exist, so much additional work, other than projects, is assigned that you will have to work additional hours. You are basically a figure that can be replaced. I never saw, and still do not see, any teamwork except during a project. Some Practice Managers are very quick to place blame on their employees, especially in the DACH region. Expect no pay raises for at least two years. Frugality principles are used basically to withhold any kind of perks (except getting 20-30 Euro as a Christmas gift for the work you did for this organization, which is really a shame).

Value your employees and not just customers. It would be great to see what the two new leadership principles really mean to the employees.
