ams OSRAM reviews

High-level managers and consequently staff underneath, were subject to insultingly-drastic cuts in bonus ~ 95% less than typical as a result of the new CEO cost-cutting strategy. Impossible to retain U.S. staff with these behaviors. Also, at least when I was there, no pay increases across the board, as that is the European way.

If you are competent and keen, you will get a disproportional amount of work and responsibilities, that a human being - even the most capable, ambitious and motivated - cannot safely handle for a long time. When you want to slow down, you are low performing then. Burn out, hospital, drop from orbit, divorce, robotization are your destinations. A bunch of dependants will gravitate around you with demands for constant operational support (read: do their work). Another layer of colleagues mostly talking about work and gossips around the coffee machine. The latter group has better survival chances! Hard to get anything committed, organized and done without nerves, polemics, politics, meetings. Most effort and personal energy dissipates in anything but not core engineering. The real engineering problems - this is side activity! "Don't bother with details." Excellent awareness about the non-responsibilities.
