Pros

The benefits and the people are great! The location is nice and comfortable and the industry itself is awesome - doing great things for our futures.

Cons

Too much control from HQ/Germany, hardly any autonomy locally. Processes are antiquated and impede efficiency without any improvements in sight. Every year the company has either massive layoffs or a huge hiring flux. The CEO seems to change direction too often, and is spreading himself and the company too thin by entering into a lot of different and new ventures without "fixing" what is wrong within the original company.
