Pros

Depends on the project. I worked for a digitization project which had a really cool and contemporary work culture following the loop approach and being pretty agile. Also, mostly the workers there were all pretty friendly and respectful. I felt very empowered and accepted as a woman in tech.

Cons

But still, a lot of the things are just holdings you back e.g. company size and many projects working on the same things... Also burocracy, The bigger our little project / startup within DB got, the more constraints and controls we had unfortunately. Also DB Experienced a lot of budget costs lately. There are also no benefits such as urban sports or even only 14€ for the Deutschlandticket (which is probbaly for legal reasons, but somehow other companies also can offer that).

Pros

Slow paced work allows for a relaxed work life balance I don’t think you can find anywhere else in the world. No one works past 11am on fridays.

Cons

The fact they have to make all work students redundant to save money, speaks for itself. They have no idea how to manage business budgets or effective leadership support in projects outside of their never ending processes, there are so many leaders that only bring stress and no real empathy or support.
