      Pros

      Great perks for expats: Tax advice, relocation package, home trip allowance etc. Also a great gym at the premises, OK prices at the canteen, shareholder program.

      Cons

      An extremely messy company with too many managers and no leaders. Hierarchical with a huge administrative overhead, and no long term strategy that can be carried out. I am actually surprised the company earns any money at all! I work in a part of the organization that is supposed to work agile, but in reality the hierarchical structures remains, the product owners cannot deliver to their road-maps and certainly do not own their product, since upper management can always step in and change the priorities. Whereupon the POs are blamed for not delivering towards their road-maps! I actually consider the senior management a playground for kids with serious disabilities, more than professionals working in a world class company.

      Pros

      Great discount and opportunities to move around. Great environment to learn in, young dynamic and athletic people. Always on the go.

      Cons

      Once you're out, you're out of the company. Very hard to get back in. The salaries are low for how much work you do. Location is far away from Nuremberg, need a car or carpool. Their newer policy is to be open and honest and non-political, but they are VERY political and honesty just gets you in trouble and pushed out. VERY process driven, no risk taking, not a place for creativity to thrive. Very conservative and judgmental. No one is happy in their job.

      Pros

      Travel in Europe, a lot of parties....no rush for achieving targets, you can do sports at work time, it is like a school

      Cons

      If you are not young, male, German (or marry to a German), don't think about a carrier here.... No opportunity for women at all. If you are a guy, you need to "know people" to move forward
