Pros

- Great communication from the management of the current state and the future of the company. - Healthy work/life balance. - Flexible working hours and also work from home. - The team is very young and international. - The opportunities for advancement are immense, you are always challenged and encouraged. - Fruits and drinks :) - There is a very generous employee discount on the boxes.

Cons

- The salary is not top of the shelf in Berlin but it's also not too low :D - The engineering leadership can sometimes be rigid about choices of a technology which makes it appear it's targeted at achieving personal KPIs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the engineers are humble and open to criticism. Since I joined new squads have been created and a more robust organization has been built. Most of the people are nice to work with and available most of the times to help. From day one you'll learn a lot, senior engineers share the knowledge constantly with their peers. Continuous Integration/Delivery pipelines are being improved weekly by our DevOps constantly, making deployments less painful. They embraced Kubernetes architecture. When criticals have happened, CTO does not look for people to blame but solutions to mitigate the issues. Yearly reviews that are actually useful to improve.

Cons

Microservice architecture is present but the main part of the business is still a monolith with few owners. Junior engineers have almost the same access to the infrastructure as senior ones. The office has been grown a lot but the toilets are limited.
