Pros

The C-team (CXO) works well together, although individually they are not high on business and commercial knowledge and their EQ - Emotional Quotient is quite low

Cons

The top team has managed to create an environment of 'if I like you you'll work for me, else I'll fire you', hence there is a strong culture of favoratism. The targets are unachievable - I haven't seen even once when we have met the team targets and hence getting the monthly bonus is uncertain. I have been in sales teams before, however the environment here is that of a constant fear of losing your job. In terms of corporate ethics, I would rate them quite low. I have seen a few people being asked to leave the company even when they had high performance. Also, the HR is non - existent, there is only a recruitment team however no HR. There is a unidirectional flow of information from Germany to the rest of the country offices. and questions rarely get asked and are rather frowned upon by management - they like people who'll always say 'yes boss' to their thinking without questioning, and simply execute without inputting local information back to the mothership. it doesn't feel like a startup culture rather feels like a bad corporate environment. I wouldn't recommend anyone to join this company.
