Great place to do research. Too much bureaucracy and power point slides

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance. Salary is very competitive. Bonus program is very competitive. Benefits are really good. Freedom to pursue your ideas if you convince others that they are good.

Cons

Too much politics and bureaucracy. Relationship with German HQ sometimes hard. Not much cultural diversity. Reports, slides and meetings are valued more than being productive.
