Mid-size logistics software company, Berlin FriedrichshainBerlinGermany
Supportive relocation and genuine work life balance
I joined as a backend engineer on a Blue Card. The relocation support was strong: six weeks of furnished housing, help with the Anmeldung and a visa lawyer for the first application. Working language is English, and teams are very international. Salaries are fair for Berlin, though lower than Munich or London. We have 30 days of holiday and flexible hours, and nobody expects replies after 6pm. Engineering standards are good, with code reviews and time for refactoring. My main criticism is slow promotions and some decisions that feel top-down. Overall a good first employer in Germany.
Pros
- Excellent relocation support
- English working language
- 30 days of holiday
- Respect for evenings and weekends
Cons
- Salaries below Munich and London
- Slow career progression
