Pros

-99% of the people who work there are fantastic: kind, helpful, smart, highly competent in their work - Excellent benefits: 11 paid holidays (9 assigned and 2 floaters), a sick leave bank for long illnesses, medical benefits good, excellent premiums for employees, long and short term disability. -very flat organization. You can talk to the President and CFO if you want to - incredibly cool technology - flexible telecommuting (for office personnel) - Great DE&I program - seem to be sincerely trying to make change and increase inclusion. Company is already very diverse with people from all nationalities, religions, genders, LGBQT++ . All treated with respect.

Cons

-the 1% might be given too long to fix their problems, making challenges for others. Sometimes management should let people go, even if they have been there a long time. -coordinating everything through HQ limits agility and creates longer lead times for projects - lot of upward mobility for young people. Not as much if older - those are more lateral since everyone reports into Munich headquarters
