      brand doesn't equal good quality

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - compensation - home office possible - multicultural

      Cons

      - six rounds as a job interview and you end in completely different position than you were hired for - after so precise interview process you end up with the boss who doesn't know what is going on - bureaucracy - mess - no vision - over restricted - team spirit - you have to be naive to expect something like that - promotion process (assessment) - real work isn't only what matters

      Arrogant mid management with little flexibility at work though very profit driven

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place to learn but will end up being too specialised and narrow minded Good working environment and some colleagues are very professional yet down to earth Free fruits to keep employees healthy

      Cons

      Lower management clearly lacks of the necessary technical knowledge and competence but got there by staying with the company long enough and hanging on there. Middle management mostly arrogant and employ out of touch approach. At least three meetings a day if not more for an entry level manager. Higher ups normally work in the meetings! You just need to get used to bureaucracy here or you're not getting anyway
