Pros

The pay is OK. The offices in Frankfurt are very well located close to the Opera house. If you want to move to London, it's a good platform, also for pepople who love finance....

Cons

Bad management. Bad work conditions (lack of space), very little attention was given that we barely had enough elbow space to work and the noise levels in the office was always very high. Management does not understand technical issues. The heavy use of outsourcing to India is an another problem. The outsourcer's personnel is changing all the time, they get treated like rubbish buy their own management and the results are bad quality, lack of motivation and never ending levels of miscommunication.

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
