Pros

- Give a chance even if the employee does not have a lot of professional experience - Remote - Very inclusive : Not mandatory to speak German, English + another language being a must have - Good IT equipment delivered at home

Cons

- Job in th HR function but where most employees does not have any HR background and therefore apply processes without questionning anything. A minimum training should be delivered by the company during the onboarding. An HR department can't be run as a call center - Very little room for any mobility / career or salary evolution - Tough working conditions : Working between 2pm to 10pm to be available any time to "customers" in Americas but when your job changes to a global scope your work schedule stays the same, no flexibility at all which is very bad for health in the long run...

Great People, Cumbersome Company

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with at my local plant were excellent. There was good teamwork and pride in a job well done.

Cons

Being a publicly traded company, decisions regarding Capex and Headcount were short-sighted, the goal being to deliver a good quarterly report to the shareholders. I believe this was because the senior management had performance incentives connected to stock price performance.
