If you are new to the industry, this might be the place for you. If you have experience, run the other way. - Research Assistant Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Employee Review

Nepotism abounds. There are no consequences for laziness, poor work ethic or just downright incompetence. However, if you work hard and put in a lot of hours there is no recognition and you are expected to pick up the slack of others. Pay is meager for the hours you are expected to work. Be sure that you like working long into the night and weekends. There isn't a lot of effort into retaining employees. Everyone is expendable (ESPECIALLY if you make the poor decision to disagree with upper management). Huge revolving door policy. Most people work for only a few years before running out of the door.
