Pros

Diverse teams across a few different locations.

Cons

When push comes to shove, everything comes down to what the CEO feels like. He might welcome you and support you, but then he'll turn against you in a second. He gets himself involved in everything even when he has no clue, and his massive ego will get in the way of anything you try to do. You can work really hard away from him, but then he'll decide what you need to do and how. And if you don't like it, he'll get rid of you. The office politics are crazy. Everyone is afraid of everyone else, and you're constantly fighting against all of your colleagues, and the CEO will play on that. There's negative vibes everywhere and people are always talking behind each other's backs. At the end of the day, the CEO doesn't trust anyone but himself. And he has no problem yelling at managers and humiliating them in front of everyone else. you'll either suck up and give in to his ego, or you won't survive long. This is the worst company to work for - it's got all of the disadvantages of small, disorganized companies that are centered around an egotistical CEO, and large corporations that have no character or culture, and horrible office politics.

Pros

you mostly get paid, mostly on time

Cons

There’s one thing rarely mentioned there, which surprised me, since it’s so core to what this company does: fraud. Yes, this is how everyone calls it when management is not around. On meetings, there are a host of euphemisms used, like “engagement issue”, ie. why no one paying for the products uses any. Mondia charges money to unsuspecting customers (mostly in Germany) for services they did not sign up for and have been doing it for more than a decade. The company is a large click-fraud farm, front-ran by an annually changing array of unscrupulous marketing agencies and backed by the large telecom companies Mondia promised ‘free revenue’. Of course, there is no such thing, otherwise the infamous ‘caps’ - daily limits to how many customers Mondia is allowed to defraud - wouldn’t exist. Telcos to this weird balancing act of extracting more revenue while not overwhelming their own customer service with complaints. The company is trying to cut costs and corners wherever it can, slowly moving every role to Egypt. It wanted to close off the operations in Germany for years, but it’s needed as a front for the telcos and to keep up the appearance of complying with GDPR. All this is backed by one of Germany’s richest families, who, for some reason still let this company do its thing.
