Software sweatshop

Recommend

Pros

This company offers a way to get into Germany by sponsoring developers from third world countries, but in return, they pay you very little and often exploit you. You can use this opportunity as an entry visa to Germany, just like many others.

Cons

It seems like a bunch of teenagers started a business just to burn money. Most people here lack experience because the company doesn’t pay well. The place is a complete mess, with employees wandering around like headless chickens due to the absence of proper guidance and recognition from management. There's a lot of sneaky behavior and passive aggression, creating a toxic environment. HR is incompetent and useless. Unpaid overtime is widespread because employees fear losing their jobs, and ultimately, their visas. The merit and title system is ridiculous; hard work doesn’t get you anywhere because favoritism is rampant. The pay is very low, and almost every month, someone either quits or is terminated. The projects are overly simplistic, leaving no room for innovation or meaningful contributions. Developers are expected to be mindless drones, simply following orders without any need for critical thinking, which leads to their skills as developers deteriorating every day. They hire key and head positions in London or Zurich, keeping Berlin mostly as a software sweatshop.

Best Working Environment

Pros

Everyone is super helpful and nice. You can really feel the sporty spirit in the working team environment. Flexibility and wellness are also a important part of the company. It's easy to meet people.

Cons

They hire interns that they rarely promote. As an intern you don't get involve in much things and have very little responsibilities. Salaries are not negotiable and moving inside of the company is too hard. There is not internal promotion, you need to apply to new positions as you would be an external person. Your experienced at On is not a plus value in the selection process.
