Pros

If there were some pros a while ago, they are all gone now. Some of the managers and team leaders are really good. They are trying their best.

Cons

Constant changes and lies coming in from upper management. Lower management is trying to do best with little resources and freedom that they have, but it seems that house of cards is falling apart. Only positive reviews that I have seen are from recent hires, located mostly in India. Layoffs are announced, as they call them restructuring. Despite the assurance on all hands meeting, a few months ago that there will be no layoffs. But here we are. As result whole teams of people will be fired, among others complete development team from Berlin. This will effectively ruin some of the products as the development will be handed over to external contractors with no experience. This team will have to continue developing a product with more than a decade of code base. good luck with that.
