Pluspunten

- free beer - free food - team events

Minpunten

- work long hours - unreasonable delivery dates - unnegotiable delivery dates - force you to buy their product because if you are not a customer you cannot understand it? - changed job title, description and expectations without consulting me, they hired me for a junior dev position but soon changed it to senior level without consulting me or changing my renumeration package. - we can replace you, which maybe it true but man what a toxic way to work. - meetings, I had meetings every hour or so mostly just micromanaging things because your manager needs to know what you are doing at all times and wants a progress report on the hour but still expects you to meet the tight deadlines set. - OKRs which are just a list of things your manager promised his manager he would get done and than force you to accept to do them. - they used the contract as leverage during your probation period constantly reminding you that they will not hesitate to let you go if you do not meet the deadlines I think I could go on forever but I had a really terrible experience working for this company, I don't think the whole company is bad as I have friends who are happy there but if you work for D&A Dach my friend you are in for a ride, good luck.

Pluspunten

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Minpunten

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
