Pros

Had the opportunity to work on new technologies and some interesting projects which had an impact on an European scale.

Cons

Doesn't Recommend Negative Outlook Disapproves of CEO I have been working at Bertelsmann full-time (More than 3 years) Pros Had the opportunity to work on new technologies and some interesting projects which had an impact on an European scale. Cons the cons are far too many to even list: - the management is clueless, too short sighted and has no long term plan - too much political shenanigans and boot licking - no clear path for progress and the goals are mostly abstract - no training/workshops etc provided to help an individual reach those set paths/goals - pay well below the market level compared to the expected work and effort - no recognition of quality work and the effort put in to get projects over the line. - employees have absolutely no value in the company and the company truly lives by its "internal motto" : everyone is replaceable, be it an intern or someone who has worked for 10 years - no one works for the overall benefit of the group/company but only to meet their own selfish needs and career goals. those are some of the main cons though the list is endless to be honest.

Pros

They offer a small relocation You can have wage advances to help you eat the last half of the month due to the poor salary

Cons

If you are looking to work longer than 1 year, do not bother to apply Do not build a life for yourself in a new country where they relocated you too. Joke of a company

Pros

the relocation managers are really helpful, they help with all your documents, bank account etc.

Cons

kitchen hygiene is dreadful, bonuses that never come, stressful and inhuman targets, they profile themselves as best employer but you're just a number and replaceable. The management doesn't even understand the basics of management. Very chaotic and unreliable. They promise a lot of things in interviews and half of it will never happen or they pop up with new rules suddenly.
