Pros

Good to get "regulated company" credentials

Cons

Promotions and career success are based on getting highly ranked political allies. Quality of work means nothing. If you are not favored you will be overlooked, verbally abused, and used as a convenient excuse when things go wrong

Pros

Salaries are slightly higher than the average in Berlin. However remember Berlin wages are typically very low compared with other Cities.

Cons

Job descriptions can be inaccurate. While 80% of the Managment are professional and respectful to other employees there is the other 20%. This 20% seems to have learned their managment skills from a Victorian Factory Worker. And think that fearing for your job equals motivation. There are alot of good people in this company working under hard conditions. Think long and hard before joining this company!

Pros

Projects are interesting Dealing with people in over 54 countries is very interesting Company is involved in cutting edge clinical research Pay is around industry average A lot of room for horizontal movement and promotions

Cons

Management expectations of hard working employees is too high. Low performers are allowed to stay low at the expense of the good workers Workload is intense and does not allow for work-life balance. Burn-out is frequent. Working 60 hours a week is not uncommon Some senior managers are borderline abusive in their language towards their employees
