Pros

Depending on your job, flexibility could be a pro, and peer colleagues can be wonderful (depending on department)

Cons

-Immature management that struggles to maintain professional boundaries and a professional approach to work (rather than emotional and inappropriate outbursts) -'Old boys' network with incredible resistance to learning about and promoting diversity within the company, which makes it a very frustrating, degrading, and unpleasant workplace if you do not fit into their standard employee profile -No diversity in management or c-suite -Inability to effectively communicate with HQ in Germany -Resistance to improving efficiency in processes that would promote customer retention and satisfaction -Inefficient processes in everything from shipping, fulfillment, management communication, payment, and internal structure -Discriminatory practices within the company that are not addressed -Very poor communication from all levels of management leading to significant misunderstandings and poor efficiency at work -'Blame' culture, rather than focusing on efficient, intelligent problem solving

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.
