Pros

Very talented software engineers with a very "german" approach. Large-scale, high-quality systems. Processes in place for basically everything, including a carrer plan.

Cons

Very traditional in every sense, Agile methodologies not very common. Bosses tend to be former engineers or sales people are are measured soley against their revenue targets. Had a boss who was a nightmare as a people manager, but upper management refused to change something because he hit his (financial) targets.
