Typical good looking from outside, but terrible on the inside - Senior Software Engineer GetYourGuide Employee Review

What they sell when you enter is totally the opposite once you're in; it looks like they will value your opinions and proactivity when in fact there won't be any space to grow or experiment at all; your job will be a typically 9 to 5 fulfilling the requirements for that day to achieve some goal defined by the CEO, there's no space for experimenting with new ideas, new technologies, new approaches. They will also sell you a "good life balance" and "relaxed working hours", not true; since I've been working there I always had to be there from 9 to 5/6 sharp, and even when you're 5/10mins late you'll have to respond for that to your manager. Basically totally the opposite you'll see advertised, be warned, prepare for constant layoffs and getting your wishes and desires down to earth with this management team; although they will try to sell you every Friday of the opposite, it won't be true at all. I've left the company on my own because I wanted a place to grow as a professional, and I wanted a place where the culture is as advertised; it's simply not honest what they put you through. Salaries are not that good for Berlin, and if you happen to work sometimes on the weekends or long nights, don't expect any rewards for that, not even a shoulder palm.
