Pros

From high level, it looks good package but 20% is variable which hardly comes to your picket. Good Food in reasonable price. Good Discount on Adidas brand Mac Book and iphone will be given to all the employees. Party Hard

Cons

No Life Balance. Start up Culture. 70% time you will spend on useless and meaningless Calls. Not Clear about why they need IT team. Architects and Product tech team are different from each other so product team will never give you values. No Process. All the projects were handled by Indian Service industry (vendors) and they almost ruined all the projects. No Planning and execution. Everything is handled by few peoples so they are changing the process according to their wishes. Incapable HR Incapable Directors Completely Mismanagement Adidas is good to make a variety of shoes but in IT, they don't have vision and budget so not sure how long they will survive in IT industry. Not budget planning. Everything will run from Germany so God knows when and what decision they will take at what time. Almost all the Architects in our business area left in last 3-4 months.

Pros

Groses Internationales Unternehmen relocation services are really positive

Cons

- You have to pay for sportsfacilities contrary to competitor Nike - You can be fired easily in probabtion period and employer does not care and sends you back to your home country without proper dismissal package contrary to NIKE EMEA. This is not mentioned upon hiring. Application policyis easy for foreigners but firing is just as easy in the probation period of six months foreign employees can be fired without a reason even by good performance mobbing is just really easy, adidas does not care about the employee afterwards as it has a strong reputation it can treat employees like trash. After the legal period of three weeks they provide you with an excellent Zeugniss as you are not able to sew anymore. - Adidas lets expats pay 50% taxes istead of 40% by not telling them in what wage tax forms they have to fill out. - Adidas has resources for Bonus Schemes but not for docking stations and there is no money for post its - No free beverages like Coffee - No flexible desks that support people with back injuries - No introduction onboarding program on the job done by colleages, the first six month adidas tests foreign employees and when unfit they send them back to the home country and no labor agency notices these pratices. - Germany has a high Tax rate 40%

Never Join this Org

Pros

You need not adapt if you are coming from a services based background as you will be treated as an external. Some Data Engineering teams are doing good work and worth learning.

Cons

Management is not at all there when you talk about DNA department. The Directors of Data Engineering Teams, especially those who are from the SAP background or have been converted from infosys don’t know anything when asked question but will show the authority as they are the Prime Ministers. People sitting in Herzo and Amsterdam consider themselves client and you as the service provider and they don’t have a way of talking. Data Engineering Directors of few Engineering Teams like marketing team and sales team will ensure that toxicity keeps prevailing as these people are puppets to the Product Owners and speak the same language as the POs. There is no scope of growth especially for those joining gurgaon office. All you will feel is the future is dark. You would be promised 15% variable but they don’t pay it stating the org is facing losses. While they promise these when hiring new people in the same financial year. PS. Still If you are joining ensure you are not joining the Consumer and Marketing Team or the DTC Team. Other teams are still better. Directors of these two teams are puppets and know nothing and are responsible for toxicity
