Pros

Great People and there's a lot of talent and if you apply yourself, you will learn a lot.

Cons

Management is more focus with Politics rather than supporting their team in order for them to succeed. Test Environment can't be real test environment as they have restriction which beats the purpose of having a test environment. Managers not really taking time to listen to employees inputs and just focuses on themselves and people above them as in their mind, they got to where they are because of their own ability and the subordinates do not have anything to do with their success.

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.
