Vantaggi
Colleagues are great (because we're all in the same sinking ship), office is great, as another reviewer said, Wolfgang the Chief Operating Officer is great but sadly surrounded by incompetent/inconsiderate leadership. Benefit package is the standard ones you get in corporate companies (travel/bike loan, private health insurance, etc.) 25 days holiday is on the high-end of average, which is nice.
Svantaggi
Since the new Chief Product and Technology Officer came in the decision has been made to open a new third HQ in central/eastern Europe (because cheap labour). Since COVID they've pivoted to now opening an HQ in India. This is great for a multinational company although with hiring being severely restricted even before the pandemic, all new vacancies within the engineering department are being hired in India -- because its cheaper (not the official word, but it's obvious why). With hiring being difficult, it's made back-filling roles in either London or New York impossible. We started getting contractors in but now everyone is being hired in India. Pay is not great. Pay equality is worse. Zero career progression. Don't even bother asking for experience, either. They boast about diversity and inclusion but are extremely and painfully slow following through with action.
