Pros

The new office International diversity - depending on the team you are in Relaxed atmosphere- No urgency to get things done, engineers go off on 1 month vacation without advance notice

Cons

Very rigid and hierarchical structure, almost everyone in my team spoke German and made no effort to be inclusive. It got so bad that even technical and product discussions took place in German. I have no problems with German culture, but if I am told that I expect to work in an international company, then I need to speak English to do my job. No onboarding for new hires - you are just thrown into a team that is understaffed and underskilled and I had very little guidance from my manager. No feedback was given. None of this was discussed at my interview Some of the male colleagues were inappropriate - came too close to you and put arms around you without permission, cracking inappropriate jokes. Also very low salaries for Berlin standards. It was only after I left that I realized how underpaid I was.
