Pros

Decent salary. Some people are actually nice. That's all.

Cons

From management to HR, it's a sport to say one thing and do the other. Unbelievably unprofessional environment across the board, driven by people who just care to keep the status quo and fill their pockets in the meantime. Many highly incompetent people are put in leading positions, and have absolutely no clue on the actual business and topics they're dealing with, nor actual skills to healthily grow teams and the people in them. Time is relative and appointments are often not respected (and this is supposed to be Germany). IT infrastructure and support are simply a joke. HR systematically plays slimy tricks trying not to fulfil their obligations. I can go on with hundreds more bad things... really, stay away from these guys. Don't get initially fooled by cash and big smiles, as it will quickly backfire on your career and health.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
