Pros

Innovative product, in some sense. I've had very nice colleagues, I am in touch with after years of leaving the co.

Cons

Average salary at the time, fell behind market over time. Lots of legacy code even in a young startup - classic pains of growth. Inadequate direct manager with very poor soft-skills.

Pros

I have nothing good to say about this company.

Cons

Everyone breaks the rules in this company, but they are always good at choosing a scapegoat. There are so many people who don't know basic hygiene rules in the toilets, you can literally catch a disease here. The boss and the managers are extremely loud and you can't even focus on your work.

Pros

• great colleagues in Sales, Marketing and HR • they are a QTSP • good Sales Leaders in Germany, also had a couple of other very talented colleagues in England and France

Cons

• the management of this company is done by dinosaurs who never worked in identity • the product is so far out-dated that they’ll never be able to catch up to the competition • the investors are very inconsequential • you’ll be promised by new c-level that everything will change, it does, but for the worse (I.e. new CCO) • legal process takes incredibly long • company is allergic against decision making which is further slowed by micro management and influenced by the same people (Germany based) • the culture is: you give, we take and you get nothing in return • you need a masters degree in politics
