Pros

Pays well, start out with 3 weeks vacation.

Cons

Hard company to integrate into. They do strange things every now and then, e.g. We lost a weeks salary because they changed over their payroll system. No American holidays. Doesn't recognize 9/11. American executives seem to always be stressed out about whether they are losing their jobs.

Just nameless, faceless cogs

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Talented, conscientious coworkers. Excellent 401k matching. Opportunities to do really good work and help people with products.

Cons

Upper management provides little direction, changes strategy constantly without explanation, and holds the threat of layoffs over your head nearly all the time. It's a typical, large multinational corporation... reorganizations are a consistent reality. As a German company, hierarchy is important - this is not a flat organization or an empowering one.
