Pros

The people who work here are who are not in management are genuinely kind and creative.

Cons

This is the most unprofessional company I have ever worked for. The work environment is extremely toxic which is a shame because as a whole there are some great people who work here. A change in leadership could actually result in this company becoming profitable. The CEO and wider management lack experience and judgment when it comes to making decisions in line with industry standards and overall compliance. Employees are bullied into accepting terms that go against their rights and forced to provide good feedback. Most people do not dare to argue. The management team does not respect processes and try to cut corners wherever they can. Their approach is as long as they can get away with it ,they choose to pursue their interests above listening to the experts they have hired to guide them. There is also a very low regard shown for women's and LGBTQ rights shown. Do not come work here if you want to build a solid career. This company will only leave a stain on your reputation.

Thank you for this feedback, and we are very sorry to hear you had a negative experience at Inkitt. It matters a great deal to us to build a company culture where people feel motivated and empowered to do their best work. It seems that we have unfortunately failed to achieve this aim in your case, and we take full responsibility for that. Learning and improving is part of our company culture -- and we therefore strive to become better by listening to all feedback, whether its positive or negative. We also encourage a culture of radical transparency and hyper-fluid communication. If at any point any employee has any concerns with regards to how women or LGBTQ's right are treated at Inkitt, we would ask that those concerns please be immediately raised to people's managers and/or our People team - who would of course treat these issues with high priority.

Most life-consuming experience I ever had

Business Outlook

Pros

The company offers you condition to work fine, but expects you to just give all your work-time to them.

Cons

Impossible hours. You will be expected to come in from 10 am to 10 pm while working in Berlin, Saturdays included. This does not get better for remote employees; time zones are not respected. Calls and emails at all hours, and you ARE expected to respond. Little to no time off. Day-consuming meetings that will go nowhere. Inconsistent focus on target audience, ideas, and... pretty much everything. Scatter-shot techniques without proper time for anyone to prepare. Constant responsibility whiplash. Because so many people quit, jobs are handed off without much training or, once more, preparation. CEO expects you to just get it anyway.

Pros

There are a lot of great minds working on the engineering teams.

Cons

Management and the CEO do not care about its employees and would rather you work 100% of your day than spend it not going insane.
