Pros

Compensation is in the highest range you can get in Berlin.

The scale of projects is sometimes insane, impacting at minimum millions of customers.

A lot of things happen without too much red tape.

Cons

There is too much politics. Projects are often just flashy and oriented to get some manager promoted. The amount of work is not crazy, but it requires a lot of overlap with US time zones. The stress is very high.

Advice to Management

Try to align the projects and career growth more with the interests of the people of the company, not only with your own promotion and visibility.
