Business Outlook

Pros

Time off, company vacations, medical benefits. interesting technology, great corporate marketing. strong leadership and commitment of staff in HQ - Germany. Strong international brand.

Cons

former strong company is USA is shell of what it formerly was. Loss of key business due to market contributions and poor management in USA. NY corporate office is in shambles with low morale and high turnover. Major change in leadership from NY to CA - resulting in power struggles and lack of direction of business.talented people are having their talents wasted. petty power struggles by management is resulting in conflicting priorities and paralysis of business. people are afraid for their jobs and will not speak up due to toxic work environment including retaliation by management. good people are heading for the exits resulting in impossible expectation of workload for remaining staff.

Pros

Carl Zeiss as a company is technically advanced and they solve the best problems in the space of IOTand Industrial Automation.

Cons

Carl Zeiss IMT R & D Division is headed by bunch of people who does not know how to manage the group and A, B C of big data. Here they look for people who nod heads without asking a single question. They need puppets.

Mismanagement at the top

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Location is ideal. Direct boss and colleagues are great to work with. Products look good. Some benefits are ok. Colleagues tend to help each other out of survival.

Cons

Too many cons. Germany leadership puts unattainable expectations and fires local leadership for failures. Causing new hire management to make extreme short term decisions that lead to damaging company morale. Depressing environment with high turnover with almost weekly going away parties. Employees trickle out when new and better opportunities come.
