      Pros

      The time zone difference is minimal, as the majority of interactions occur with the team based in the headquarters in Germany. 2. Sprints are scheduled at the beginning of each quarter, allowing for predictive workload management. Ad hoc tasks may arise approximately once a month. Planned leave can be coordinated well in advance with the manager. 3. The organization features a flat hierarchy, providing opportunities to collaborate with senior Staff Engineers from the headquarters. 4. The work environment is hybrid, offering the flexibility of remote work, with complimentary lunch provided on days spent in the office.

      Cons

      1. Promotion cycle is only once a year. It would take roughly 2 years to get promoted once joined

      Pros

      It's an unrecognized job by management, they don't care about you unless you make them more money so they get bonuses. All they care about is performance metrics, no matter what you do to your co-workers.

      Cons

      Expected to work in an outdated color arrangement that is mostly black. When it's 100 degrees out, on hot asphalt, not ideal. They expect you to log the tiniest damage so that they can bill the customer. Do they not take depreciation on the cars. Their fuel gages are wonky and don't work right. I believe they are charging customers for fuel when they shouldn't.
