Pros

Free vending machine with drinks (They try to counterbalance the extremely low salary)

Cons

I don't even know where to start. First of all maybe the corona handling. We had to be all days in the office during all the COVID waves without home office opportunity, we were forced to come into the office with no negotiation. If someone was infected the next day like nothing happened everyone was in the office. They even tried to hide if someone was infected "Please keep it confidential we going to manage the case". Regarding the the actual work, chaos management everywhere you look, on the top/central and with middle managers. No one knows what's his actual job, how we can handle the project or how we can achieve something within the project, nothing finished finally. And last and but not least the "improvement time", or as we call it "Horrible time". You should spend this time to improve or invent something which or good for the company, but the problem that no one know what is on the minds of the Germans, so in the end it's a whole struggling. No one knows what we supposed to do in this 4 hours, but they make your bonus dependent on this. And finally they love make us feel their superiority, they have never told it, but everyone feel it "We are Germans, you are just a tiny Hungarian, you should do what I told you to do." I wouldn't mention that the turnover rate is extremely high, every single week at least one person leave the company.
