Pros

Some nice colleagues met along the way.

Cons

After 2 years and a half in Vienna, I can say I have seen the very worst of what management can be: - run away from responsibilities. Accountability does not exist in Global Blue, unless of course if you are at the bottom of the food chain. - incompetent promoted. I have seen people promoted managers who couldn't even handle their own work properly , then why? And if you think about being promoted as manager, forget it if you are not Austrian and not a man, these are a unsaid requirement.. - No manager will enforce processes (when they exist). - No customer focus: the company is basically making money by giving money to its customers. Still, nothing serious has been done toward customers and the IT department is clearly focus on itself, not on the business, again because of incompetent managers. - the Global Blue management could win the European championship of "passing the bucket around", at least they are good at something! - completely ignore the non-performers: no matter how incompetent you are, there is no way you are getting fired at GB.

Pros

You have many colleagues from all over the world. If you are lucky you are allowed to travel in business class to Singapore.

Cons

The Management is the worst I have ever seen. No clear focus. Much politics going on.

Pros

International, diffrent cultures, few nice people, that's all! I just need to write 20 words here, so I am empty.

Cons

Confused business people focus on how to run the business from today to tomorrow, terrible code, no experience, some dev lead positions without any clear purpose, unclear requirements, one team responsible for production code (teams have no clue when their components are release and if they work), dinosaur technologies, terrible and loud open office, terrible coffee, half of the company does nothing and pretends like it's super busy, people dont accept any technical improvements, reporting your daily work in millions of diffrent tools and many many more.
