Pros

Nice party yearly on FlixSummer. Office weeks are always fun, people drink a lot.

Cons

I felt like they screwed me over on salary a bit. I felt they hid benefits on the annual gross salary. I do not believe this is a good approach. Be sure to negotiate your compensation well. Every month I would ask for feedbacks from my manager, and he always said everything really good and no negative feedbacks. I would get praise from my colleagues on my job every time. After 4.5 months, he comes up with a ton of negative feedbacks out of the blue and saying I am at risk of not passing probation and being fired. I set a lot of actions to correct all of those, I corrected and days before probation ending, even with me correcting everything he asked, he says I am fired. I felt burned out correcting feedbacks that did not make sense and even he acknowledging the corrections, I was still fired. My opinion is that they have a bad culture on feedbacks and I felt they do not put trust in their team. I felt it is a culture of putting pressure on you and never trusting your job. I have the opinion that if you do things the way you believe it is correct, you are wrong and if you do their way, you do not have personality. I felt a lot of micro management and difficulty to please the manager. Only when I got a new and better job I realized the different between having a manager that trusts you and one that does not. Not recommend to work at all. Only worth it for their annual party.

Pros

International environment; Start-up experience; Possibility to test different things at work in order to achieve your team targets; Work with many young people

Cons

Chaotic and messy workflow; "Make-it-Happen" culture means "do it however you want, nobody will give you any advice, find your own way and deliver your task on time"; Also, you have to work with unexperienced colleagues, mainly interns - which is good for interns to get some first work experience but it is not good for you to learn something new from them. Senior employees do not share their knowledge or experience much. Especially in the Marketing team, the culture might seem childish quite often. Many interns cannot stay after their internship. Too little salary and late work hours culture. Not the best leadership. Almost never a recognition of a good job.
