Pros
Solid corporate strategy, cherished culture with consistent effort to attract and retain best talent. Very good benefits package. HR is an independent entity with a proper view on the career path, succession planning, and work-life balance. A variety of business units and industries served provide numerous potentials for interesting moves and promotions. Unlimited training and learning potentials. Very good work-life balance. Good place to start or retire from.
Cons
Silo mentality, typical to this type of company, easy to get lost. Like to low-ball salary, and if you are coming right out of school, good place to start, but might not be the best to grow your comp levels. Strata levels and comp ratios might limit rapid advancement. Also, even though touted as a globally thinking corporation, Germany takes a higher priority and funded more generously.
