      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cutting edge products, great people to work with. Leadership encourage innovation. Culture of accountability.

      Cons

      Old boys network. Job blocking to maintain key talent in roles as long as possible. Limited opportunity for growth. Sexism both implicit and overt. Not enough women leaders and male leadership holding positions for far too long.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Research used to be a great open environment where you could form collaborations and explore new ideas across departments. Benefits are very nice.

      Cons

      It has become a development pipeline producing the same type of assay over and over. Management has become micromanaging, unsupportive and stingy.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Secure environment, almost impossible to get fired, relatively good salary. Training opportunities at the beginning. Mobile phone for free (it's not a pro, but could not think of anything else to fill in the 20 words).

      Cons

      Total lack of objective evaluation. Never explained to employees why some things are happening. A colleague with extremely low performance, who was 50% of the time absent in two years, got promoted and nobody ever understood why. Salaries are totally not performance based. One must just fool them at the interview and will enjoy a higher salary for ever without doing anything. Tarif scheme is totally communistic and performance-killing. Germans are always promoted much easier no matter their performance. Management is extremely poor. Motivation is killed. You are just a headcount number. Complaining pays off to make you shut up. Mannheim location is UGLY.
