Pros

Good life work balance in general. Good vacation policy. Quite methodical in its processes.

Cons

The company clearly favors German employees. There's a culture of favoritism that is clear and blatant. You have more opportunities if you decide to go to Germany but very limited in the US - this is especially true if you work for a global department (i.e. IT). If you want to tank your career work there. If you want to advance your career, either be German or leave this company at all costs. Company boasts about AAI (Accountability Agility Intrapreneurship) but leadership doesn't really adopt it and especially in Germany there is zero accountability for poor decisions. Toxic environment and blame game is #1 behavior you'll see when things go wrong. Poor leadership overall.. not what it used to be.

Pros

They have a gym and a cafeteria!

Cons

Do yourself a favor and pass on this company. They are poorly managed at all levels. Senior management is clueless and under the thumb of an inflexible, oppressive German parent. Working climate is negative with little advancement. Working climate doesn't permit innovative thought, and personnel issues are routinely mishandled by people ill equipped to handle their positions.

Fremont site has the worst management. People are burnt out, compensation is way below the market rates, people are leaving or have left, they don’t provide resources.
