Pros

Homeoffice. German colleges are nice. Indian colleges have unrealistic expectations and everything has to be done yesterday.

Cons

No salary increase, no promotion. The company is restructuring since over 2 years. Lots of people left. A lot of uncertainty and doubt. Duplicated security departments and at war with each other, fighting for the work and lead. At the same time, shortage in the delivery team for years.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
