Pros: Flexible working hours are great, though messages do happen outside of normal business hours. Generally, direct managers are great. When I had some mental health-related issues, I was given the time and space to breathe and take some time to make sure I was on top of my game. Unlimited holiday (with the state minimum) is great. Plus, having two company-sponsored holidays (a week in summer and two weeks around Christmas) per year is nice. Learning is at the core of trivago's ethos. Everyone tries and learns from everything they do, making learning opportunities out of mistakes and fumbles. The Talent and Culture team even keeps this belief when changing processes and making rules.

Cons: The flexible working hours are a double-edged sword, meaning you might get messages outside of core business hours, mostly from coworkers. Pay for software developers is on the lower end for the market. There's no option for full remote. We're only remote right now because the government suggested it due to the pandemic. We'll probably be back to normal once the pandemic is over. Feedback between talents tends to be soft, and talents are encouraged to keep it soft for fear of insulting others, despite more direct feedback being useful for talent growth. As for career growth, there isn't much. You can either be a software dev or a lead. There really isn't anything in between.

Pros: Nice culture and people. Challenging tasks sometimes.

Cons: Slow to adapt to new technologies.

Pros: - Responsibility & scope given from the very beginning - The people & team spirit - The trust atmosphere - The opportunity to learn a lot - The new products we are launching are exciting

Cons: - Lack of focus & resource allocation not always optimum
