Pros

- free laptop (macbook air or similar price range) - travel budget allows to travel to any conference with an accepted paper + 1 free travel w/o a paper

Cons

- the whole contracts / stipends (scholarships) / salary business is extremely shady and absolutely not transparent to students (luckily, there are no more scholarships - only dubious contracts) - most students work 40h+ a week, but have only part-time contracts for no good reason - you get only 20 vacation days on the part time contract instead of 30, which is Germany-wide standard - due to the above, some departments allow shady schemes with the "unofficial" 10 days of leave, but others do not - the graduation requirements are often not clear, and the grade even more so
