Pros

-good salary and benefits -extra vacation -Just hired an American head of diagnostics who has some good ideas -Severin is making good progress

Cons

-The company constantly puts the wrong people in management positions. Getting ahead is all about networking and who you know, not about your performance. The result is a whole rotten pot of the same type of manager - micro manager, narcissistic, insecure and no personal skills. -The global department IS NOT global..... not many employees who have international experience, or even global management skills for that matter. -Not an EOE. Male dominated in Germany

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
