Pros

Most colleagues are nice to work with Work life balance Can work from home for some roles Start and end work on time Great place to start a family here Medical insurance can include child and spouse

Cons

Commercial is political. Some boss dump their work and provide excuses. Technical team skew towards retiring/ political if you are not favoured. Sales team is confused and not focussed. Global team in Germany is slow, outdated and work in silos. Career progression unclear.

Pros

Excellent high quality coworkers Good pay Autonomous work

Cons

Teterboro facility extremely lacking compared to competitors. Overall, US is de- emphasized globally while representing a large portion of consumers. Being a Euro centric company, they haven’t figured out how to crack the US market. Pls note Dr Bertram is no longer CEO (hello Glassdoor!)
