- 2.0Only the name. It's really ugly behind the curtainsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMunich, Bavaria, GermanyOctober 7, 2016Pros: Good, passionate engineers. If you're on the right spot, there is a lot to learn. If you're lucky to have a good mentor, and if interested, you'll learn a lot. Pay is ok, but nothing special.Cons: The most political place I've ever saw. Career advancement is possible only if you're in the right "circle" and manager's parrot. Level of hypocrisy is unbearable. Military structure with absolute zero trust in the worker bees. Hard working is punished; if you're good at office politics, you'll be promoted.
