Pros

Vacation time is generous. (no sick days though, so don't get sick)

Cons

Benefits are OK at best (401k match maxed at 5k, which is super low for the industry). Pay is on the lower end of industry, yearly increases are very low usually do not cover cost of living/ inflation. Management has ZERO accountability, everyone will sit in a meeting and just talk about what could be done when it comes to do it no one will do anything. The entire company is "all talk". When you are working on a project expect the direction from management to change 50 times a day (not customer driven changes).

Pros

20 PTO days and 13 Holidays -> however, if you are laid off (BTW annual layoffs in October / November) you will lose your PTO / Holiday hours -> unpaid. If you are interested in consulting look for better options such as AVL, FEV or Roush. Org charts are irrelevant, as you can use any title and you will be working with different teams with quite different responsibilities (chaos). Employee evaluations are difficult, since some employee might have had 4 or 5 different supervisors...the result is poor evaluation results -> no/low salary increases

Cons

2018 HR Survey (Facts): 70% of employees rate morale as low. Average tenure goes from 2 years to 5 years depending on group/team. Reasons: lack of career planning, lack of communication/cooperation, false immigration promises (22%), no knowledge transfer from Germany to local teams. 88% of resignations are from millennials.

Pros

There is a lot of freedom to try and do things the way you want to. The company encourages its employees to be creative and develop tools & methods that might be helpful. You don't have to be a part of a process, you can define how you do your work. If you need help, they will get you in contact with technical experts from Germany. It is a great place to learn.

Cons

Its is a developing company so pay package is not the maximum a person can get but the work culture is outstanding and the benefits package is very good. Overall I don't think there is a big con.
