Mammoth corporation with heart and soul

Pros

Big company owned by an even bigger media group, no need to worry about losing your job too much. Good work life balance in a cozy atmosphere, it feels like being part of a big family. Great parties (even for the employees' kids). I have fond memories of my time at idealo.

Cons

The size of the company, together with lack of knowledge, interest and/or motivation at some levels, often make it difficult to stay dynamic and implement swift changes in obsolete processes. This becomes frustrating, especially to highly motivated employees who are then most likely to leave for good. You're not going anywhere if you don't speak German to a very good/native level.

Pros

Fully remote for now, nice office

Cons

The company once had a genuinely positive and inclusive culture, but things have changed drastically over the past year. They also recently undergone significant changes at both leadership and team levels, none of which have positively impacted the work environment. Engineering managers often lack technical expertise and resort to micromanagement, stifling innovation and autonomy. There’s little to no focus on technical optimization or code quality. Teams are understaffed, leading to consistently high workloads and burnout among engineers. Support is minimal, and feedback from the ground rarely drives change. Attempts to raise concerns—especially about toxic management behavior—were ignored, even when escalated to HR. Company also decided to shift it's All Hands abruptly to German even though there is a significant number of non German/immigrants in the company. This, along with occasional microaggressions, creates an uncomfortable and at times alienating environment for immigrant employees. While the company used to compensate for its below-market salaries by highlighting a generous benefits package, most of those benefits are no longer available.
