Pros

Nothing. The company looks decent from outside to people who don't know Munich's job market.

Cons

Everything. Terrible working environment, politics, high employee turnover but also hire and fire policy. Lies, lies, lies and colleagues who are always fighting with each other. Managers who think that they are CEOs, Powerpoint software architects and developers who pollute teams with their presence. HR who cannot do a simple task correctly.

Pros

Salary, Bonus, and that's all

Cons

I work for the Sixt head quarters in Berlin Germany, and honesty this is the worst company I have worked for in all my professional career. They lied to you about conditions, promotions since the very begining ( I mean the interview) anything you want to hear to let you in (even if you are working for a different company) Then once you are in... The fun begins, not serious schedulles, working long hours every weekend and late shift. Even when you advice them the holidays within 3 months, with several reminders they tell you 2 weeks in advance you can't go. Really unprofesional in every single detail. Also they don't tell you in the interview you will work though a temp agency and you will not get your payment until the 15 of the month after.

Pros

Salary is quite high, but does not make difference because the living costs in Munich are very high.

Cons

I worked there for 6 months in MyDriver team and got fired for oppressive and unfair reasons. 1. No on-boarding process and knowledge share, just ask for everything and some people don't share complete information with you!!. 2. Discriminative treatment for developers based on their seniority level, new comers and juniors are required to give time estimations for tasks while seniors aren't (The New Scrum Methodology!!). 3. They have very high firing rate, 3 people in my team then me were kicked off in 6 months!. 4. Most of the employees are unhappy specially in my team. 5. They ask for working overtime and weekend work even if there is no need for it (Scrum master asked me several times to work overtime just to show motivation!!) as if working 8 hrs a day and delivering and committing to work does not show it. 6. Product owner is unfriendly, disrespectful and always says impolite words at work. 7. No correct scrum is followed . 8. Not productive work environment: Product owner and Management in general always disturb developers with any idea comes to his mind and communicate in a disrespectful and rude way, sometimes even he leaves the the conversation if you talk to him and just goes!!. 9. It is hard to get an approved holiday in my team, this happened to me and to other colleagues. 10. Unfair evaluation for bonus, many people including me was oppressed in evaluating them. 11. Company location is bad, it is out of town, and you can only reach it with train which comes only 3 times and hour and always comes late or even cancelled specially in Winter. 12. The city of Munich is so expensive to live in and it is hard to find a home there specially if you don't speak German. 13. They give quite high salary but don't be so happy with it since you will spend a lot in living costs, so living in another city with lower salary can be even better. 14. After getting fired HR employees were not helpful and don't reply to emails, unless after very long time, it took me 2 months after being fired to get all my papers.
