Pros

-Cool cafeteria with some fruit and vegetables -Nice events inside and outside the working environment

Cons

I was a Working Student Sales in the Italian team. They are searching for one now. (Be aware!) Worst job ever, it didn't match at all the job description. Ripetitive, useless when it comes to acquire new competencies, very bad team. No communication, micromanagement. Tried to ask for tools to optimize the work to have time to do some other stuff. Been replied:"If the job becomes so easy we would do it for ourself and we would not need you". Fake "happy family" environment that results in creating more stress cause you OUGHT to integrate in the tribe. No professionalism, everything is taken on a personal level. I mean, pretty normal stuff in Italy so you'll find the same little toxic environment spread for all the team. (SAM International) Probably they'll lie even about this review but now you know what's going on. Don't work for that team.

Pros

It used to be a good company, maybe they still have some common sense that will awaken.

Cons

They let Axel Springer's claws inside the management, and they no longer cared about the employees. They sent a survey about coming back to the office, but it was obvious just a formality, because they disregarded its results. Works Council tried to negotiate the terms, the amount of days, work abroad, but the management eventually said "accept what we want or we'll make you come 5 days". Sounds pretty illegal and unethical to me. They reduced the work abroad from 180 days a year, to 20. They want us in the office and reduced work abroad for NO REASON. The company has great results the way it was, and this change will only bring negative impact. The office, although nice, is not a place where developers enjoy being and can focus. It literally went from a company I used to recommend to anyone, and reject job offers, to some sort of dictatorship. I would not recommend it to anyone anymore.
