Pros: Compensation is genuinely competitive, and work-life balance is respected; you won’t be pressured into constant overtime, and the pay reflects the market.

Cons: Unfortunately, the positives are undermined by serious leadership problems. Senior management creates chaos rather than direction; priorities shift constantly, planning is poor, and basic organisation seems beyond them. Despite this lack of strategic grip, executives micromanage day-to-day work, which is a frustrating combination: no clear direction from above, but constant interference in the details. Office politics plays a bigger role in decisions and progression than merit does. Most concerning, I witnessed behaviour from some individuals that crossed the line into outright bullying, and it went unaddressed.

Pros: Great product, and some really good and kind colleagues.

Cons: Politics and personal ambition of some individuals do not align with the interests of the company, a naive CEO, people in key positions who don't understand how to work at scale, and toxic behaviors are allowed. Terrible benefits outside of Germany.

Pros: Extremely smart people across the org

Cons: Poor leadership and middle management
