Pros

Working culture is friendly, my manager tries to help his employees to develop and stay healthy. Salary is good.

Cons

Field of business and technology strategy does not allow proper technologic development and innovation. Everything has to be developed super fast and therefore products are sold as industry ready while not even beeing a proper prototype. Obviously this causes major problems for customers as well as Zeiss employees who have to troubleshoot these unready products over years.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
