Pros
- Good transport connections - Supervisor always had confidence in students and encouraged them to contribute their own ideas - Good pay - Good opportunity to gain experience with new technologies (Oracle database, Jira, Red Hat OpenShift, ...) - Good canteen food
Cons
- Many (mostly unnecessary for my area of responsibility) compliance trainings (partially introduced as a response to Dieselgate) - No home office (at least before Corona) for interns & working students - Old office - Company computers run only Windows (i.e., no Macs) with very restrictive configuration (installation of Google Chrome, for example, was only possible with my supervisor's approval) - Internal hosting of web applications is outsourced to employees in India who were overwhelmed by many technical problems - Partly unmotivated colleagues (early retirement, partial retirement & severance payments were frequent discussion topics among the german workforce) - Not the best prospects (Feuerbach site) due to the transition to e-mobility
