Pros

Nice location with parking, subsidized canteen , onsite discounted shop, Gym and tennis court, health insurance, pension scheme.

Cons

Low pay, enormous workload and constant pressure on meeting target. Automation projects are never finished, all departments are under-resourced, excluding management. Requests across all levels to increase working from home by just 1 more day a week, is simply ignored.. People leaving all over the place. Ignored. Newcomers are unexperienced and very low equipped, some of them never saw an outlook page before. Company does not put people first, they only affirming they take care of people, but in reality they do the opposite, they don't show it. Never retaining talented people.

Pros

If you are looking for a company of entitled narcissists who have zero accountability this is the place for you. You can get promoted for doing nothing and lacking experience. Also, you will actually spend more time outside of the office then you will in it. Any excuse to escape the office is good for employees. Free lunches and participation trophies for showing up each day.

Cons

Everything. No product supply on a consistent basis and the people making production decisions are constantly told it was not their fault and no problem. They wonder why they never hit sales goals. A bunch of entitled people with very little experience. They can talk about ping pong tournaments but fail to acknowledge other events that pertain tot he entire company. 40%+ turnover of senior leadership. 50%+ for the rest of the company.
