Salary is okay but not great

Salaries are below market average. Since the takeover, more and more benefits (e.g. Bonusly, frequent office parties) have been cut with the promise to replace them in the near future. So far, these promises have not been kept.

One of the things people complain about the most and rightfully so: wages are not competitive anymore and are also not keeping up with inflation at all. In fact, you're losing money if you don't belong to the small circle of employees who get (small) raises.

Average - you better negotiate good in the beginning as the yearly increase can be expected around 0-2% - which is really a shame

The pay is significantly lower than most comparable tech companies. Thanks to a recent acquisition, raises the last few years have been around 1% (significantly lower than inflation). This means that if you stay for longer than a few years you can expect to lose money.
Requests for raises or negotiations are not usually accepted. When a large part of the company brought this up in a Q&A the response from management was that salary adjustments only come when you start a job or move to a higher position. If you intend to apply here please negotiate well from the beginning, and be prepared to move after a few years to make sure your salary keeps up with the market and inflation.
The pay is average for Dresden. Unfortunately in the new age of remote work this is not enough to retain employees in tech (massive churn the last year, which you can check on Linkedin).

Salaries are low compared to other tech companies and once you’ve settled, it is very complicated if not impossible to get a raise (1 to 2% raise at best).
