Pros

Compensation and benefits are fair but nothing about OSRAM is better than average.

Cons

The entire company is micromanaged by Germany. The Germans have no vision, strategy or leadership, they CONTROL the company and know no better. They are copying the current strategy of Philips by carving out a portion of the business which is reportedly going to be sold to one of several Chinese companies. The company is overloaded with lifers who are terrified of losing their jobs and they keep their job knowledge to themselves. The company lacks vitality, energy and enthusiasm. There is nothing worthwhile here for people under 40 years old.

Pros

OSRAM allows flexible work arrangements which can be taken advantage of if your manager approves. The new building that is going to be located in Wilmington is supposed to be state-of-the-art and bring better working conditions.

Cons

OSRAM has gone through substantial changes in the past couple of years. It is not the place that it used to be. The headquarters building is empty (in comparison to past) and the tone is a bit depressing. High stress environment.

Pros

Strong and respected brand. Some good and talented people. Adequate funding still available for new projects. Management is fair even though they are shackled. Care about employees.

Cons

Overburdened by unnecessary processes. Risk averse. Very little entrepreneurial style within management. Bad decisions made by uninformed management. Too much influence from Germany hampers better local decisions. Frustrated local management.
