Pros

The entire salary package is worth around 38k per month. This is better than many employers in South Africa. You get to network internationally and sometimes get the opportunity to go abroad. Honestly, I would recommend Goethe to anyone starting out or looking to be involved in Culture.

Cons

Office politics and unfair salaries compared to those in Germany. Lopsided hierarchy.

Pros

Co-workers were great. We tried to uplift each other despite the straining work conditions.

Cons

Two class system: Local employees don't receive the same advancement, pay and career options then sent employees. Management is German, has no idea about US work regulations. Management overall seems to lack in all managerial skills besides delegating work and are in need of extensive managerial training.
