Well, it’s definitely seen better days. Toxic team leads, heads ofs and management bring it down. There’s no reward if one person is carrying the whole team including a clueless team lead or if someone else just does nothing. In the end, it’s all the same. But there are still cool people who keep things afloat.
This really depends. I know some people worked normal hours, some didn't work at all and some worked severe overtime. A few people had to do the job of three while management just conveniently looked away.
Pretty low
This is where it gets really juicy. There are good leads and department heads. If you have one, you’re lucky, but if you don’t, you’re cooked. Some have negative people management skills (don’t even know how that’s possible) and some know less about the area they lead than an intern. So yeah, there are problems on that side. Problematic jokes and unprofessional behavior aren’t unknown either.
It’s pretty problematic when it’s top down because that’s not really working, but bottom up doesn't work either since it just falls on deaf ears. Things are usually fine between colleagues, though they’re the ones actually keeping everything running.
Better not to talk about this.
There is genuinely equality.
There are definitely some.
The work atmosphere used to be very good. People were generally motivated, engaged and eager to build cool things together. Unfortunately, much of that spirit has disappeared over time, largely due to a perceived lack of appreciation, recognition and compensation for good work and extra effort. There is also a noticeable lack of feedback, encouragement, and motivation from leads and managers, which makes it increasingly difficult for people to stay engaged.
There are still many great people who genuinely care and try to keep the positive spirit alive. They are the ones keeping things moving and holding the sinking ship together despite the current challenges.

This depends on the department, but overall, the work-life balance is good. Working hours are generally flexible, and there is a healthy level of respect for personal time and boundaries. Compared to other aspects of the company, this is definitely one of the stronger points.
On the one hand, there are plenty of opportunities to learn and gain valuable experience, especially through interesting projects and industry domain. On the other hand, career progression within the company is quite limited. There are few opportunities to move into more senior positions or transition into different roles, making it difficult to build a clear career path internally.
If you want to take the next step in your career, you will likely have to look outside the company.
There has been a salary increase freeze, which is particularly problematic given that salaries are already relatively low compared to the market. There is currently little to no adjustment to compensate for inflation, increased responsibilities or strong performance, making it difficult to feel that good work and additional effort are being adequately recognised or rewarded.
-
As mentioned, the remaining strong and supportive colleagues are what keep the team spirit alive. Despite the challenges and shortcomings from above, people continue to support each other, collaborate, and create an environment that can still function. A big part of what makes working here bearable is the people themselves.
Cheers to them!!
Collaboration is generally smooth, largely thanks to the great and supportive colleagues. People are willing to help each other and work together effectively.
However, things can become much more difficult when dealing with heads or higher management. At that level, discussions become political, which often makes it difficult to get things done or feel genuinely empowered to make progress.
This is genuinely the weakest point of the whole company. Some leads and managers appear to have been placed in leadership positions despite lacking essential people management skills, particularly when it comes to empathy, employee development, communication and providing meaningful feedback.
What makes this even more challenging is that, in some cases, there is also a lack of domain expertise. This can just add a 99th problem to my already existing 98.
There are also instances where leadership behaviour is toxic, negatively affecting the working environment and undermining the positive culture that many colleagues are actively trying to maintain.
Of coarse, there are good leads, but this is the overall picture unfortunately.
The overall work conditions are great. The flexibility, working environment, and general setup provide a solid foundation.
Communication within teams and squads can be very efficient, and there are many colleagues who are genuinely excellent communicators. At this level, information is usually shared openly and collaboration works well.
The problems start when it comes to communication from management. It often lacks transparency, with important context and information not being shared openly. There is also a perception that management mainly communicates what reflects positively on them, while avoiding or downplaying less favorable topics.
The company genuinely supports equality and inclusion, and it is something that is reflected in everyday work life rather than just being a statement on paper. Overall, this has been a really positive experience and is definitely one of the company’s strengths.
You get the opportunity to work in a genuinely interesting industry and on a variety of exciting projects, tools, and related topics. There is a lot to learn, and the domain itself provides plenty of interesting challenges.
Definitely one of the highlights of working here.
Ein multikultureller Ort, an dem man von allen und über alle lernen kann.
Es gibt technologische Prozesse, die sehr langsam ablaufen, und die Auswirkungen, die ein Mitarbeiter bewirken kann, zeigen sich erst nach sehr langer Zeit. Das führt bei einigen Kollegen zu Frustration.
Das hängt vom jeweiligen Bereich ab. In manchen Bereichen ist es möglich, zu wachsen und zu expandieren, aber ich habe festgestellt, dass es in anderen Bereichen mehr Einschränkungen gibt und dies nicht möglich ist.
Nur minimale Gehaltserhöhung in den letzten Jahren (weniger als 2 %), obwohl ich mich sehr für das Unternehmen engagiere.
Es gibt viele sehr gute vergünstigte betriebliche Leistungen, aber sie ersetzen keine Gehaltserhöhung, die die Motivation stärkt, im Unternehmen zu bleiben.
Reward the workers who are working hard, hire the right people to lead and manage.
There are many brilliant engineers but also slackers who somehow got hired by another slacker. The worse thing about working for EWD are the managers specially most of the IT Head ofs and Engineering Managers. They either got promoted because of boot licking or connections as some of them have zero people skills, lack empathy, does not understand the tech stack at all or the problem we are solving. All feedbacks go down the drain when it comes to "Leadership" because as the Head of People rightly said one time - "We will always protect our leadership".
40 hours on paper, actual 55-60 hours work because they want everything yesterday and everything is priority one. The prioritization process and sense of ownership in the leaders deserve a stand up comedy show on its own.
Zero pay raise since the past 3 years although we're always making record profits. However the Head ofs and Management are either enjoying their unlimited PTOs playing Golf somewhere in the US or taking 2 weeks off every 2 months while the engineers work hard so they can present them in their fancy ppts
What the leaders, managers and head ofs drag down.... the spirit of fellow engineers make up for it! Change the leadership and management to be more empathetic and understanding... sending them for ppt trainings and Miro board exercises won't help! The only reason a lot of people aren't quitting are either because of the current job market situation or their fellow engineers. Also some slackers love to celebrate fixing bugs on production they created and shouldn't be there in the first place. They will tell you they're AI forward but what we're really celebrating these days are who consumed the most Claude tokens not the ROI or the impact of using AI. We're also now using AI to understand presentations generated by another AI while the presenters are just mediums.
This is the worse part. People with zero if not even an iota of people skills are made managers and head ofs. They like to bask in the light of your hard work in front of the C Levels, champions of taking credits but zero responsibility when you make a mistake or to protect you.
Communications are pretty clear when it comes to cutting off benefits or zero pay raise or that one setback in an entire year. We have a wall of praise where we praise people for making ppts, setting up outlooks events and copy pasting Jira tickets but never for the actual engineers who work hard.
A very LGBTQ+ friendly, 50+ nationalities and counting. Love the people here!
I really like the regular exchange between the developers and the current tech stack.
It often feels like developers end up being the cleanup crew for product work that wasn’t properly prepared. The same pattern repeats: a new “great idea” has to be implemented immediately, even though the problem isn’t fully understood, requirements stay vague, key details get postponed with a “we’ll figure it out later,” and the real impact only becomes visible once we’re already deep into implementation, as if that’s just normal. People call it “agile,” but in reality, it’s more like chaos with Scrum terms on top: priorities change mid-sprint, alignment happens after decisions were already made. Instead of building the product steadily, it ends up feeling like we’re jumping from fix to fix, just hoping nothing major blows up.
Developers need more appreciation as real partners, not just ticket implementers. That’s not only about money, but also about how work is prepared, how much context and ownership they get, and whether they’re equipped with the right tools to do the job properly.
The working atmosphere is low at the moment. Of course, there are the missing salary adjustments, but also the ongoing confusion in product development, with repeatedly unclear, not well-defined ideas. This is very stressful for the development teams, which have to modernise the platform simultaneously.
Work-life balance depends heavily on the team you’re in. Some teams operate under noticeably higher pressure and a constant delivery mode. On top of that, when individual performance in the team is weak, the workload often gets redistributed to the people who are already delivering — meaning you end up picking up extra tasks to keep things moving. In reality, work-life balance is good for some but not consistently across the company.
Career opportunities are very limited, as there are currently no changes or growth. Additional training opportunities are available within the budget, but unfortunately, there is a lack of coordination with future technological challenges, and restrictions are in place to ensure that not too many people attend the same conference. In addition, it is expected that new knowledge will also be easily acquired during work alongside normal tasks. Therfore more attention should be paid to ensuring that developers are well prepared for future challenges.
The salary is average. However, I think it's unfair that too much attention is given to salary bands rather than individual performance. Especially when you see that the workload is unevenly distributed. This reduces daily motivation.
Team spirit is generally good. You can ask questions anytime, and you’ll usually get a helpful answer. Lately, though, it feels like more people are optimizing for visibility and promotion, doing “their own thing” to stand out instead of pulling in the same direction. That kind of ego-driven work is creeping up, and it means important shared tasks get dropped or delayed. When you’re trying to deliver a bigger feature that needs real teamwork, it becomes seriously frustrating.
Managers are there, but it feels like they're just supposed to manage us all somehow and concentrate on the problem cases. Agreed yearly goals are often not met or made possible due to daily project work. Sometimes I also miss opportunities for honesty about my personal development. The real feedback usually only comes when you apply for other jobs but don't get them.
The working environment is good thanks to 100% remote working. However, the technical setup, with poor VPN access, constantly having to request permissions, and not being able to use certain standard tools because the company would rather save on licensing costs than enable developers, makes everyday life uncomfortable for developers.
You simply work based on what others have decided. Topics are defined, and the tech stack is clear. As a developer, you just do your tickets: a new endpoint or a new Vue component. The most interesting thing usually happens when something doesn't work as expected because the topics weren't well prepared. But then it's more stressful than interesting work.
Tech stack, you can increase your market value fast and leave.
Communication, intransparency of salaries and raises, brainwashing everyone into the "family but no pay" and "money isnt important" lie.
Drowning out workforce to say months after it was already decided that there is no pay raise. Most tech guys have no raise for 2,3,4 or more years and are sick of it.
Mutli culutirsm is abused here as workforce frlm outside eu is locked in as they cant easily find another job.
EWD uses this to then not increase salaries.
Stop pretending to be a tech-first company until you start valuing the people who build your platforms. Pay market-rate salaries, share the record profits with the workforce, and stop being petty about basic benefits. Respect is earned, and right now, the Group is losing the respect of its entire digital workforce.
Eurowings Digital tries hard to project a "cool tech hub" image, but beneath the surface, it’s governed by the same rigid, penny-pinching mentality as the rest of the Lufthansa Group. If you are a high-performing engineer, be warned: your hard work fuels executive bonuses and record-breaking group profits, while you are met with salary freezes and a total lack of tangible appreciation.
"Quiet quitting" and "Strictly by the book" are becoming the norm here—not because people are lazy, but because there is zero incentive to go the extra mile.
This is the dealbreaker. For a almost every position, the compensation is not competitive with the current market, especially considering the lack of adjustments for inflation. In a year where the company celebrates its 100th anniversary with record margins, they couldn't even find the budget for team hoodies or basic appreciation tokens. It is a masterclass in how to alienate your most valuable talent.
Even if you negotiate well why entering, there will be almost zero increases afterwards for most of the tech staff which will let them leave the company afterwards.
The only thing keeping teams together is shared gallows humor. The engineers are brilliant, but they are increasingly frustrated by being ignored by a board that celebrates billions in profit while cutting the most basic team benefits.
Leadership is disconnected. They preach "Lufthansa Family" values in webcasts while simultaneously overseeing a "Nullrunde" (zero-percent salary increase) during a record financial year. There is a massive gap between the "digital spearhead" rhetoric and the reality of how technical leads are actually treated.
While the tech stack is decent, innovation is frequently suffocated by "Corporate Governance" and "Compliance" walls. You spend more time navigating bureaucracy and explaining technical latencies to stakeholders than actually building cutting-edge solutions.
Ich finde die meisten Sachen sind wirklich gut organisiert, wie zum Beispiel, wenn man wohin muss, wird Parkplatz etc. bereitgestellt. Das finde ich sehr gut! Außerdem gibt es immer wieder Events an denen man Teilnehmen kann. Es gibt noch viele weitere Gute Dinge :)
