Good people, lacks on management and salary - Software Development Engineer osapiens Employee Review

The codebase is poorly maintained (the worst that I have ever seen), compensation is below market, and the workload regularly exceeds standard hours without overtime pay. Advancement opportunities are limited—it’s difficult to get promoted, as the company prefers to hire German tech leads/managers rather than promote or train long-standing and high-skilled foreign employees. For engineers: accept this position only if you URGENTLY need employment and are prepared for minimal growth and recognition. If you care about long-term career progression, it’s well worth investing a few additional weeks in your job search—your future self will thank you.
