Pros

- Challenging tasks that include the application of different systems, understanding connections and relationships, as well as direct contact with clients located abroad - If you want to learn something, it is definitely possible (and if you don’t, ask your boss before complaining about your work) - You learn to work very accurately (!) - Excellent introduction and training provided, in my case, during the first months of work - A very supportive and familiar team in Germany that helps whenever needed - Flexible working hours and the possibility of remote work - No surveillance of your work as long as you complete your duties as expected - The salary is okay, and overtime is paid - Young team, mostly between 25 and 30 years old

Cons

- The project in Warsaw is only moderately managed - Excessive workload is often assigned to employees who already have more than enough ongoing tasks, instead of being distributed equally - Certain individuals who do not contribute to the work at all or are absent without explanation are not dismissed, despite obvious evidence, due to weak leadership (I have seen a lot in my career, but this is definitely next level) - Entry standards are not high enough, which leads to the issues mentioned in the two points above - There is a lack of understanding of Polish (work) culture on the part of German management

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
