Pros

- Free food - HR caring about gender equality - Great work life balance, (since you are not delivering much tangible outcome)

Cons

- No product vision or strategy. This place is just a marketing prop for Continental corporation to say that they have "silicon valley operation" and "startup entrepreneurship" on paper. - Middle management doesn't know what they are doing. Thus, they have no idea of how to evaluate anyone's contribution and performance. Plenty of good people left with frustration of not being recognized and not being able to deliver customer value. In the meanwhile, plenty of people whose day-to-day job is just sitting there and browsing the internet are comfortably collecting a paycheck. - Horrible leadership from top down. Things could have been changed with new leadership, but it's an unknown. The best thing the German headquarter had done to this ITS division so far is to let the original executives go, after the employees had to endure moral harassment and embarrassment for 2 years without any directions. The worst thing German headquarter had done to ITS is to hire those executives from Google in the first place. - Rigid culture and not enough diversity. Middle management here tend to refer and hire their own family members and friends on the team. It can be very dangerous.

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
