Pros

Looking for a career head-start? Working student roles here offer up to €20/hr (gross). Plus, with IG Metall benefits, you’ll enjoy salary growth, extra vacation time, and annual Christmas bonuses. A perfect spot to grow professionally

Cons

While the perks are great, the transition from working student to full-time employee has become increasingly difficult lately. I recommend applying for full-time roles at other companies well before your current contract ends. Additionally, most industrial PhD programs require German proficiency, which remains a significant barrier for international students. While working in R&D increases your chances of securing a PhD, strong German skills are usually a prerequisite.

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
