Pros

- Nice and smart colleagues - Office location - Decent work/life balance

Cons

- Office is led by manager with no experience in security, management or consulting and it shows - Initial promises of experiencing and learning from tech team in Berlin are never kept - Recruitment team writes fake reviews to bump up rating since their KPI is linked to it - Management is mostly through fear, abuse of power, no room to voice concerns - Colleagues (entire office) repeatedly voiced concerned to head of HR but nothing was done with it, swept under the rug - Excessive turnover rate of 80%+ - Work is mostly tech support for clients and not varied - No opportunities to grow, no training, no mentorship - CEO and management in general behaves like a dictator, pretends to be your best friend - Toxic environment Advice to contact past (or even current) employees on LinkedIn to get an accurate picture of the company

Pros

Some teams may offer interesting projects if you’re in the right department

Cons

- I received no feedback, onboarding, or training from myteam lead, who was largely absent. Despite being on probation and new to the company, I was left to "figure it out" alone, with zero guidance. - Although the company claims to value diversity, English-speaking employees are at a clear disadvantage. Internal communication during team events often defaulted to German, leaving me isolated. - One team member frequently engaged in toxic behavior: miscommunicating tasks intentionally, speaking negatively about others (including me) to management behind closed doors, and consistently creating unnecessary conflict. This person attempted to undermine my credibility, and unfortunately, their behavior was ignored by leadership. - I faced resistance in accessing necessary tools and resources to do my job. My previous industry certifications and academic background were subtly dismissed, creating a sense of being undervalued from day one. - Issues brought to management were either dismissed or left unresolved. No effort was made to improve the working atmosphere, even after conflicts were escalated.
