      Pros

      As a company based in Germany, their policies are somewhat pro-employee.

      Cons

      In the Procurement department, management didn't do their homework discovering and supporting those employees who possess integrity and do quality work; instead, they only looked to promote bullies or BS-ers or butt-kissers - or inexperienced MBAs whom they can control. Continuous re-organizations distract their people from doing the most important work. Management in Germany showed no regard to culture issues and limited PTO in the USA. They promoted internally all the good things the company is doing, yet were seriously behind on sustainability.

      Executive class management have completely lost the plot

      Pros

      The checks clear on time still

      Cons

      The management is constantly preaching elimination of hierarchy, and to do this they are trotting out the same 20 male executive class types to explain to all the actual workers how they need to work harder and "wear more hats", while sharing exceedingly unrelatable anecdotes about the pool in the McMansions. For almost two years they have been talking about their "exciting new management structure", but will not answer any tough questions about what this means. In reality this is a thinly veiled McKinsey strategy to lay off middle management, and put more labor on the actual workers. Get out while you can, the executives have lost the plot.

      I don't hav any pros right now.

      Cons

      Six senior leaders exited the company in less than 6 months. DSO is a joke.
