(Non German speakers, expats plz stay away in my opinion, locals will be favoured over to you later if not sooner, Rather be wise and utilize your efforts somewhere else :) ...)
Managers of managers culture. Instead of real work expect only meetings from Product/Srum and then can ask why are we not delivering work and again spend more hours in Retrospective meeting to find why we didnt deliver work :)). I often heard term in IT "More talking & less coding"
There are specific unnecessary roles in company who try to find work and create those meetings with teams and they are more valued and management even listens to them instead of the people who are delivering work. Value Blue colour people as well, I think only Red colour people are recognised more (from Birkman colors)
Product/Dept managers should appreciate the work of the employees, In Biweekly review meetings product kind of get involves into politics by diverting attention of stackholders, sometimes either by altering slides such a way or instead favouring and highlighting their favourite team member work, please note its also difficult to get into the good books if you are not local.
Product shouldnt blame team members for their insecurities and incapabilities. Product use to promise the unrealistic deadline for the work to stack holders and then pass on the pressure to the team members.
Salary raise oh well,

Not a proper exit interview was conducted, the person just wanted to share the plan for upcoming holiday and how did the last weekend holiday go. Company cant grow if they dont reflect from their departing employees as they can show you reality without any pressure compare to the current working employees
Bascially its a mess and its more mess when you are non german or expat ...

I think founders need to talk to their employees at lower in hierarchy and try their best to get the picture out of it
