> Berlin... 'start-up'

These are already two red flags, enough for a person familiar with the Germany's job and tech markets to stay away.

As for Axel Springer - their understanding of internet innovation is quite... "skewed". e.g. as some kind of manifest they blocked their tabloid's website (bild.de) for web browsers with enabled ad blockers or they are notorious for suing developers of ad blockers:

Their philosophy seems to be "the internet is a platform to deliver advertisements" - quite toxic in my opinion.
Also because the EU bluecard has a salary requirement, so they usually pays you the lower limit at least in order to get you here. That's the situation of my Mexican friend, he changed job as soon as he worked in the company for a year and get better paid.
Also note, 38K is for person with science/engineering background. Otherwise, lower limit for EU Bluecard is around 48K
This is too much exaggeration. If you can find another job, dealing with bureaucracy is piece of cake. You just go to Foreign Registration Office and change company name.
