Pros

Lots of options to get international experience or to change divisions. Modern offices encourage collaboration. Company tries to do the right things for the employees, for the most part. Great people and motivated. Also focus on environment and corporate responsibility is more than just words.

Cons

management strategies seem inconsistent, at least in my area. Germany drives all decisions. Advancement only possible if you're a conformist. Also, we run lean, which is fine, but then the expectations need to align to that (ie don't expect my team of 9 to accomplish what really needs a team of 15).
