      Political, unstructured and unprofessional

      Senior product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great perks for expats: Tax advice, relocation package, home trip allowance etc. Also a great gym at the premises, OK prices at the canteen, shareholder program.

      Cons

      An extremely messy company with too many managers and no leaders. Hierarchical with a huge administrative overhead, and no long term strategy that can be carried out. I am actually surprised the company earns any money at all! I work in a part of the organization that is supposed to work agile, but in reality the hierarchical structures remains, the product owners cannot deliver to their road-maps and certainly do not own their product, since upper management can always step in and change the priorities. Whereupon the POs are blamed for not delivering towards their road-maps! I actually consider the senior management a playground for kids with serious disabilities, more than professionals working in a world class company.

      Manager Product Development

      Product development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposure to end to end, not a cog in the machine, your ideas matter regardless of your level, you get ownership over your work, travel, international exposure, better benefits than any US based company i've ever seen, amazing passionate people, less conservative politics - ideas matter first, cool fun product, active lifestyle, work life balance, growth opportunities, fun environment, laid back office attire, huge windows and lots of space when you work (versus being crammed in a line or distracting open floor plans, they care about growing you, and they have best culture and values - I often wish i never left.

      Cons

      less pay that competition, pressure to perform higher than the competitions, less resources and impact if not at HQ, singular mindset / tunnel vision for career movement
