Pros

- Average salary, varies by country. - Solid as a rock, they almost never fire anyone, even if they deserve it. - Depending on the project you could end up traveling a lot.

Cons

- Don't have the projects and knowledge to keep and attract talented people, new or experienced. - Very old projects and technology, forget about applying the latest and greatest techniques of ANYTHING, they like their "changes" slow and stable, even if it is a complete mess, you will always hear something like "if it works, don't change it". - Collaboration with HQ is hit or miss most of the time, if you come from a third world country, be prepared to deal with months of vacations for the Germans. - They tend to keep the most advanced technologies on Germany, forget to get something interesting at other sites unless Germany is saturated. - Ego fights all over the place, specially in Germany and USA. - Zero grow plan for most employees, causes huge grow hunger on juniors and stagnation on seniors.

Pros

Salary is good for this area.

Cons

Hostile working environment - beating will continue until morale improves. Generally work in fear. 1980s hub mentality / strategy Office 5S - nothing personal on or in desk. Audits allow persons to open locked personal drawers and flippers. Depressing work environment. General disapproval of Americans and females from German management. Upper management can turn irate, hostile, and belittling to anyone in the facility.
