Avantages

Amazing good people from all around the world, creates a very dynamic and good environment. Amazing parties, free flow of food and beer.

Inconvénients

What they sell when you enter is totally the opposite once you're in; it looks like they will value your opinions and proactivity when in fact there won't be any space to grow or experiment at all; your job will be a typically 9 to 5 fulfilling the requirements for that day to achieve some goal defined by the CEO, there's no space for experimenting with new ideas, new technologies, new approaches. They will also sell you a "good life balance" and "relaxed working hours", not true; since I've been working there I always had to be there from 9 to 5/6 sharp, and even when you're 5/10mins late you'll have to respond for that to your manager. Basically totally the opposite you'll see advertised, be warned, prepare for constant layoffs and getting your wishes and desires down to earth with this management team; although they will try to sell you every Friday of the opposite, it won't be true at all. I've left the company on my own because I wanted a place to grow as a professional, and I wanted a place where the culture is as advertised; it's simply not honest what they put you through. Salaries are not that good for Berlin, and if you happen to work sometimes on the weekends or long nights, don't expect any rewards for that, not even a shoulder palm.

Hi, Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed working in a great environment with amazing multinational colleagues. We are really sorry to hear you felt your role was not as advertised. We always aim to ensure our job descriptions are as reflective of the role as possible to give candidates and employees a true insight into what the role will entail. Regarding salary, we always aim to pay competitive market rate salaries and conduct regular research to ensure we do so. In most cases, we pay above market rate. If we see that the market rate changes, we will adjust our salaries accordingly. Additionally, giving employees very regular praise and recognition for their hard work is extremely important to us and thus it is unfortunate you didn't feel that this appreciation was shown to you. We value your feedback and will take your comments on board. Best, GetYourGuide.
