Pros

Work life balance is fantastic. Benefits are solid. The company is huge so it's not going anywhere, and there are opportunities for advancement if you know the right people/are one of the favorites.

Cons

Management is a trainwreck. If you are not a favorite you do not advance. Company organization is not uniform so different departments are frequently working on opposing goals, which makes doing your job difficult. The company is very set in their ways and does things simply because they have always been done that way.

Pros

Stable company but not progressive.

Cons

Upper management is white and male and permits a silent sexism, even in areas outside of engineering. Many new and more progressive employees witness it, but hands are tied so it continues. It's a German company with biases coming from Germany. Not a good place for women, unless you're young, beautiful, but don't count on becoming upper management even then. I saw many capable women get overlooked for executive positions, while they're male colleagues who had been there for only a short period get promoted and get more challenging work. NOT GOOD !They have a woman CFO, but she is the token woman. Everyone sees this bias, and the insecure ones want to keep it going.
