Pros
Working at the institute gave me the benefit of having a free and communicative environment and work culture. You have enough freedom to be responsible for your own tasks and get the chance to gain higher responsibilities. I was supported in my personal development concerning professional and social experience.
Cons
Due to the nature of Fraunhofer beeing a research institute some projects might take a change in their direction very late in development process or can also be stopped or totally fail. Many of these projects may only be completed for a (public) test phase and never comercial viability. This can be disappointing. When compared to industrial companies in the same field of expertise the payments can be lower.
