Pros
- the entire team is fantastic - nice office, focus on a work-life balance, team drinks, team lunch - lots of autonomy, respect, room to grow and space to run with ideas - interesting product and product space (journalism, adtech) - partnership with lots of respectable publishers and brands throughout germany and the rest of the world - strong focus on goals - millions of users daily - data driven approach to development, albeit performed less effectively some times
Cons
- hierarchies in product team have been heightened, less do-ers and more say-ers - a gap emerged in the recent year to the C-levels - the atmosphere changed slightly. e.g. announcing people leaving, investment - too much respect and confidence in employees led to the company being taken advantage of by certain individuals - some recent hires I felt were hired hastily and should have been tested more thoroughly and with the help of the wider team - drop in passion in the wider team
