Pros

Salary okay, vacation time good, good work hours, some perks, good relocation services.

Cons

Was hired in Bad Homburg but not a German speaker which was incredibly challenging. Before I was hired everything was happy days and all sounded so good but once hired HR seemed like enemy number 1. There are people in HR who don't speak English, it was so hard to get answers to the questions you have. Everything you needed to know you had to find out for yourself. Some managers allowed working from home some did not, not at all aligned which creates an atmosphere of envy and resentment, I even experienced an argument over a screen, all so petty and people seemed so insecure. Biggest problem management - aloof and arrogant and you feel totally detached from decisions made, strategy and way forward. You keep hearing "we are the biggest anyway so it really doesn't matter when and what we deliver" very depressing. I would not recommend anyone to work there.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
