Pros

The brand name always attracts attention and has a certain level of prestige to it.

Cons

The colleagues in BMW are not very helpful and expect one to come begging them for information or knowledge. Even when you do so, they often retort with a simple "I have no time". Many people in BMW do not like to deal with anyone who doesn't speak German which is strange considering that they are an MNC. There is also a glass ceiling for anyone who isn't German to rise through the ranks. They mostly promote Germans only for even middle management positions even though better qualified people are around.

Pros

BMW - is the worldwide corporation where you are the part of this massive and powerful work-machine. I was absolutely sure in my future. And I get perfect work experience in BMW working with high professional people. By being a part of this well-known brand gives you confidence in your good opportunities in your next career steps even if it is not with the BMW. In BMW Group Russia I was leaded by the very professional GM – Mr. Kremer. Moreover as because Russia comes to be very aggressive developing market within last few years I get the perfect chance to be on a top of this “wave” and to see myself how the small market transforms into big and important market with all the ensuing consequences.

Cons

Having good experience from German management I can’t say same for Russian management team. And sometimes I met typical Russian old fart employees. Team was not very solid, friendly and helpful for each other but this is more because of Russian mentality. Fluctuation was very high due to low salary (comparing to the other automotive brands) and low career growth.
