      Pros

      -good salary and benefits -extra vacation -Just hired an American head of diagnostics who has some good ideas -Severin is making good progress

      Cons

      -The company constantly puts the wrong people in management positions. Getting ahead is all about networking and who you know, not about your performance. The result is a whole rotten pot of the same type of manager - micro manager, narcissistic, insecure and no personal skills. -The global department IS NOT global..... not many employees who have international experience, or even global management skills for that matter. -Not an EOE. Male dominated in Germany

      Pros

      Can’t think of any pros.

      Cons

      Horrible management and rotten culture of complacence and sociopathic C-suite. Not a place for a top performers or someone who likes to do good quality work. Team collaboration is non-existent, with each group trying to get more resources and projects from other groups . The current pipeline says it all!

      A great company, but..

      Pros

      - A well-established multinational company with strong industry recognition, offering relative job security. - Some flexibility remains with remote work, though policies are shifting (currently 2 office days per week). And there is no 100% remote contract option. - Collaborative environment with colleagues from different backgrounds, which can be professionally enriching.

      Cons

      - Teams are consistently overworked, yet filling open positions takes far too long. - Frequent leadership gaps leave employees without direction or support in decision-making. - Employees are regularly assigned additional roles/responsibilities with no salary adjustments or recognition. - Recent D&I changes generated frustration, and non-European employees report difficulties with internal mobility. - Hard work and expanded responsibilities rarely lead to promotions, raises, or meaningful acknowledgment.
