Top Cloud Products - Internal Operations Change Management - un-management.
Pros: - fast paced environment
- ensuring a profitable business, with a relative secure job environment
- wide range of soft-skill training available to enable personal development
- interesting environment and solid proven products.
- good product strategy
- currently unclear which job roles are staying in Germany / which are moved to other countries.
Cons: - vast amount of changes necessary, to transition back office organization into the cloud. this happens with a lot top level decision and definition, which a major lack of being communicated to the staff members that need to act and execute accordingly, creating major disruption among the teams, with little progress and result in the process. 

- growing by the margin and acquisition
- little investment on the HR side of life. staff is rather seen as a cost factor than a contributing factor
- focus on the quarter end for revenue and cost reduction, rather than optimizing processes for sustainable and lasting improvements towards a customer value
- optimization is often being attempted by making one position out of three, without optimizing anything around this and creating massive bottlenecks and reducing throughput speed / unless the individual is taking the burden, to work endless weeks.
- little empowerment of several management levels (small (value) decisions require approval from VP and above).
- salary is often below market average. Factor this in when negotiating your entry salary into this company, as you do not need to count on salary increases, unless you are considered one of the top 3% high performer of an organization.
