Pros

+ You have the opportunity to work with high-quality people from which you may learn some tricky things. + Well documented development process.

Cons

- The working environment is very stressful and the pay is depending on your age. - Older colleagues are promoted and not the ones with good ideas and vision. In many cases the promoted ones have family members or close friends in management. Also, they behave like they “own” the company or the department. - They are not open to the new ideas. The products are made according to how management or senior employees dictate. - Cost reduction is taken to the extreme and the process is overly-complicated for acquiring equipment and materials. They use outdated software tools, because of cost reduction. - The lack of constant workload leads either to overtime or lack of activity periods. - They have a very aggressive retention policy. They have secret no-touch agreements with many companies, which they like very much to apply.

Pros

Good benefits, flexible work options

Cons

Germany micromanages everyone to the point where it doesn't even make sense that the US has any managers at all. Some of the senior leadership team is morally bankrupt.
