Flat heirachy inside the company between employee
Cons
Working with very old technologies
Pros
There were hardly any. Some coworkers, but the good ones were usually forced to leave.
Cons
--management-- Owner/CEO simply had to decide about everything happening in the company. Too bad his decisions were mostly based on feelings and often made little to no sense. --management on team level-- Ranging from ridiculously incompetent muppet who only got to his position because of blatant nepotism (good for comical relief though) to actually competent guy with no decision making power (see "Owner/CEO"). --HR-- Cases of newcomers going through two probation periods - it's legal in Germany but doesn't exactly build trust. Typically, the owner had a feeling they weren't delivering quickly enough. The feeling of course wasn't backed by any data. General notion that everybody's a slacker and needs to be controlled all the time. Absolutely no home office for this reason. No sick days. --COVID special-- Working from office during first COVID year even though it was perfectly possible for most people to work from home. Home office was only allowed when the Bundesregierung ordered most companies to make this possible, if I remember correctly, for for cca 2,5 months and then everybody was forced to return to the office. All concerns voiced by employees were disregarded, safety measures laughable: "We will all just wash hands more often" --work/growth-- At least half of the development team spent around 50% of their working time working on repetitive, menial tasks mostly adjusting basic CSS. Company's in-house designer left and the owner had a feeling that we didn't need a new one. Technologically hopelessly obsolete. Application was deployed to production server manually via FTP, just to name the worst offender. Any ideas, recommendations, requests for change, etc. were simply disregarded. Absolute futility. --general-- Also the money was pretty bad.
