Pros

The social benefits in Germany are really good in comparison to other companies. There is something special about people you meet here. Very international. No German needed, unless the job description says so.

Cons

Still "old management school" to be seen especially in top managers and executive committees.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
