Pros

Nurnberg is a nice place to live, if a little far from the ocean. Office is modern but about a 25 min drive from somewhere a younger person might want to live. Some roles have a lot of travel.

Cons

Very poor pay compared to similar roles in other countries. Very poor senior management, people who've been at the company for too long and are too afraid of change. Very poor HR management, nobody with a backbone. Canteen is effectively no longer subsidised so you can expect to spend a lot of your salary there if you plan to eat at the office every day. Not to mention the weird food they make there. As with every big corporation, politics gets you everywhere, not work. If you want to travel, be prepared to spend a lot of time on motorways to Frankfurt and Munich. Nurnberg is not a well serviced airport. Germany, Bavaria in particular is backwards.
