Pros

Freedom to choose technologies. Free beers at times. Work from home. Bamberg city is worth staying in for a while.

Cons

No clue what the goal of the company is. No idea on what, as a developer, you should do. Very bad management. Team leads or seniors are people with no experience (technically bad and management-wise very bad). Frustration starts after a few months.

Advice to Management

Stop hiring team leads or management people who do not know anything.

Have some goals and try to achieve at least 1% of them.

Should either change the management or sell the company to someone who knows how to run an e-commerce.
