Pros

Relatively good salary, live in Dresden is not very expensive. Managers in general a rather kind to people. Gives you good experience that is valued by other potential employers.

Cons

Work style is chaotic. You spend several month hard working on the project, but then it turns out that it's not needed anymore because another approach will be used. One week you are told to spend all you time to the priority number one task, next week you are told to abandon this task alltogether. And then half a year later this task pops up again with the highest priority.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
