Overall ok, no technical excellence
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
October 4, 2020
Pros: People have good cohesion and support each other. Managers care; however, they’re not in a position to create impact.
Cons: What counts is the revenue. Severe technical deficits are known to management and won't be allowed to persist until something blows up. When it does, the problem is fixed temporarily, but no long-term solution is brought into place.
