Pros

Nice kitchen, decent working equipment

Cons

Very stiffled hierarchy Inacurately deffined technical roles Becoming a senior is impossible because there is a group of emplyees working there for ten years or more who behave as a clan of gatekeepers and additionaly gaslight coleagues. If you want to make progress in this company you need to sweet talk to these above mentioned "keepers of the fire". Techical competence is not enough. For example, technical team lead is not a tecnical role, what a maddness. Frigtened developers gathered from around the globe work long hours obviously scared for their job. Managers are passive aggresive. Constant useless meetings overwhelmed with bureaucracy. Feeling that someone is always monitors you. Very unplesent, never experienced something like this in my ten years long career.

Pros

1. Diconium has strong expertise in software development and provides a good environment to grow technical skills. 2. The office in Berlin is modern and comfortable. 3. Remote work options are often available, giving flexibility to employees. 4. The company offers a nice benefits package that helps cover gym memberships, transportation, and internet expenses. 5. There are English-speaking positions, which make it a welcoming place for international employees.

Cons

1. The company is currently facing financial challenges and has started offering severance packages to some employees, while also hiring talent from countries such as India and Portugal where labor costs are lower. 2. Individual contributions and strong performance are not always recognized, which can feel discouraging. 3. There is no clear plan or structure in place for career development. 4. Promotions are highly dependent on the company’s financial situation, meaning even top performers may not see career progression during difficult times. 5. Increased responsibility does not always come with promotions, which can make growth feel limited. So, you will do always the same things. 6. Since English is the primary working language, there are few opportunities to practice or improve German in daily work.
