It used to be a great place to work
Pros
-Good payment if you compare with other hospitality players, however not if you compare to other tech companies - Quite stressless job, you rather die of "bored-out syndrome" than "burn out" -Mostly very respectful and good relationships in teams, area managers, inclusion and diversity is important, everybody is treated with respect - Good offices around the world, central locations, funky design - Benefits: wellness, travel, discounts etc. - Very good work-life balance - very open culture, no hierarchy, it is easy to approach any team player up to C Levels - ability to relocate - social security: thanks to the workers' council in Germany you feel safe, even if the company is going through big challenges
Cons
- lack of innovation, the company takes years to introduce a simple feature, which the main competitor do overnight - work in market management teams has become extremely monotonous with the introduction of artificial intelligence to the processes, people are bored and not challenged, systems often give nonsense hints regarding what you should talk to the partner about - internal systems allow a lot of room for cheating (point capture system), which gives often a benefit to some people and leaves others behind, depending on your luck and market allocation. At the end of the day, people get rewarded not for real work, but cheating, which is extremely demotivating to those, working hard. - there is not set-up career plan for you. Promotion opportunities in Germany are rare and all internal and external candidates have the same rights so that you really have to fight each time a new door opens, which leaves many people sitting there for 10-15 years on the same chair.
