Remote work is the only pro in a toxic culture

Pros

The only pro is the remote work.

Cons

Unfortunately, I did not check Glassdoor before joining. Afterward, I found numerous reviews describing the company's culture and management issues, and they matched my experience almost exactly. Poor management, excessive micromanagement, and frequent overtime created a stressful work environment. Promotions and recognition often appeared to be driven by favoritism and personal connections rather than performance or technical merit. Employees with influence seemed to advance their own circles, making career growth feel inconsistent and unfair. The project suffered from weak leadership and poor decision-making. The manager lacked the experience and skills required to effectively lead the team, resulting in confusion, missed expectations, and unnecessary pressure on engineers. Rather than providing direction and taking ownership, responsibilities were often pushed onto team members, and an unhealthy competitive environment was encouraged between colleagues instead of collaboration and teamwork. In several years of my professional career, this has been my worst work experience and the worst company I have worked for.

High turnover and poor management create a frustrating environment

Pros

Fully Remote, for some people.

Cons

This may have been the single worst job experience of my career. You are simultaneously micro-managed and given zero autonomy to make decisions. All decisions will have to go up to management who will then drag their feet until the last possible second and then expect you to jump when they finally make up their mind 12 minutes before a deadline at night on a weekend. The office in my opinion is very poor. Most people show up on the first day and then never again. The company is always in the process of moving but it never seems to happen. Could be related to People team management but I am not sure. The turnover is very high. I have been at other similarly sized scale ups and the number of departures here is an order of magnitude higher than I have ever experienced. People are constantly leaving and not all of them are announced. I have had people I have been working with on Friday fail to show up Monday. All of this with no communication from the people team. There are very few benefits that would be standard at other Berlin companies. No Transit pass, no subsidised sports club membership etc. The company only offers 23 vacation days per year. In my opinion, the head of the people team lacked the skills needed to manage a team of this size in a company that was growing as fast as this. The people team cannot maintain employees and I would imagine the head of the team is a large reason for this. You might be speaking to someone on the team one week only to find them gone the next with no announcement. The communication coming out of the team is quite poor and no one ever seems to have a clear picture of what is happening. All in all incredibly frustrating to deal with should you need anything from them. It's also very bizarre because everyone at the company knows its a problem but nothing seems to be done about it.
