Pros

They manufacture a superior product in Berkeley for the treatment of hemophillia.

Cons

Business decisions are made by German executives far from manufacturing site. Atmosphere is stifling and resistant to change.

Pros

Good work culture, extensive growth opportunities, moderate travel if you like it. You can make yourself heard if you know the right people.

Cons

Politics as is to be seen everywhere in Corporate America. Ofcourse, you need to know the right kind of people or do good amount of networking to gain success, promotions ( again pretty much the same scenario everywhere).

Cons

Autocratic management style prevails, top international positions often held by German nationals, management is poorly schooled in employee motivation, performance feedback from management is often unacceptably low.
