Pros

Good salary, offer German language lessons

Cons

Head Office Management communication is dreadful. Allows staff bullying by another manager. Horrible lack of communication on tasks to be completed and then goes nuclear when task is not completed in exactly they way they expected it to be done. Allowed foreign (English) employees to be bullied, piled pressure on after saying German language wasn't necessary by having all meetings only in German and not giving any explanation or translation. Then expecting non German speaking employees to follow directives made in those meetings without communicating those directives to them. Not much relocation support offered and no employee development.
