Pros
Great place to work to be on front end of fast changing technology for enterprise market. Good pay and benefits in the UK and Germany.
Kontras
Culture of backstabbing and poor leadership. In terms of career development - you are on your own to navigate w little in the way of coaching. Lots of management turn over so you can have multiple managers in a short space of time all w differing or conflicting agendas. Flat organisation leaves little opportunity for upward mobility or longevity which is what management want. Organic innovation is painfully bureaucratic - HANA was taken outside as a skunksworks project & rest of recent product innovation bought in through acquisition w middling results on integration. You have a job for life in Germany if you can stand the boredom of the local region and sterility of head office complex. Elsewhere people are an expendable commodity w a 80's like Gordon Gecko attitude of greed is good.
