What they try to "sell" to you is just the tip of the iceberg, stay away!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Same-level employees are friendly and easy going, always suporting each other
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Egocentric Superiors dislike conflicts/constructive criticism and will resort to whatever means possible to drive employees out if they cross that threshold (like "mobbing"). Blind obedience to Scrum and other mundane rules and processes (or specific people!), limited room for reflection, feedback and adjustment. People are frustrated and annoyed but hesitate to speak up about those problems in fear of bad blood or being shouted at/patronized. Mockery of an appraisal process where the employee's Superior and the Department Lead have a private chat with the employee and come up with shallow reasons to give the employee negative feedback making them think they "have room to grow". Employee is manipulated into thinking they shouldn't speak up and instead work on these outlined "issues" instead. Nothing in the appraisal comes in written form so by the next appraisal there is no reflection to the past one and they can easily make up new reasons (bonus negativity if they know the employee wants a raise or wants to evolve). Low salaries, no evolution path (Superiors hold tightly to their positions), outdated egocentic mindset of Superiors, facade of friendliness/openness!
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The dev team is in an endless loop of chasing its own tail due to miscommunication and bad practices in processes and code, nothing is ever completed but made sloppily to meet a short-term deadline (yet the final delivery deadling remains obscure). The Product team is God and conflicting with God will quickly raise an alarm. Openly advocating for employee daily work issues will also raise an alarm, the product is above all, everything else is quickly dismissed as inferior because devs' issues are not "real" issues. Scare tactics and mobbing in private meetings behind closed doors is also a thing

Frustration and complaints within the inner circles of the employees, fear of speaking up
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No visible evolution path (everyone is in the same position they were years ago apart from the Superiors), rudimentary / shallow appraisal process
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Same-level colleagues work well together and support each other
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Egocentric Superiors who dislike conflict and employee feedback. The goals that are set by the Superiors are sometimes unrealistic because of poor planning done by them
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are low, there is reluctance in talking about raises within the company (or any demand really)
Interessante Aufgaben
Sloppiness in the codebase, poor planning and bad practices allover the Backend/Frontend teams communication lead to overloading of tasks
