Yawohl Herr Kommandant! We know nuffink!

Reporter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Money is pretty good, but matchable in most cases. Almost no layoffs.Offices are nice. Many things about the product are remarkable. They have the money to try to do a really excellent job. If only their editorial leadership were better.Much better place for customers than employees.

Cons

This is where dumb Nazis go to die.The number of things I had to explain to my bosses was unmatched and unmatchable. Culture was awful -- paranoid, political, risk averse. Guards follow you around the lobby and complain if your tie is on top of your ID. Cameras everywhere. Nuts all around.

"High transparency" = Micro management

Sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Pantry & Benefits - A little higher than avg salary - Young, energetic, smart colleagues

Cons

- EXTREMELY micro managed (Is literally a "stalking" internal system, badge in- out of the office) - Rude and arrogant upper management - Is all about "sucking up" to the manager/TL, your performance is 99% rated on how much your boss adores you. - As a sales, your revenue target has nothing to do with your compensation. Even those who brings in a minimal revenue has a higher bonus than those who contributes a lot more. Again, it depends on what they call "manager's discretion" (i.e. how much your boss loves you).

Smart people, dumb approach to software

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

smart people, nice perks( food, benefits, building, access to bloomberg terminal), ownership of software, access to training materials and courses

Cons

Expectation of long hours, software is rushed out with many faults and developers expected to fix them immediately (i.e. middle of the night), disjointed software infrastructure, bad software process, disorganized midlevel management.. Support functions minimal ( no test teams, HR is not responsive, enterprise software is frequently confusing)
