Pros

Plenty of resourceful colleagues who wanted to turn this dinosaur into a more agile and forward-looking organisation. Many of my colleagues were brilliant but as frustrated as I eventually became.

Cons

Very old school and German-centric. No empowerment of employees, no diversity as of gender, age and cultural background. A suppressive organisation where control of employees was highly valued and empowerment was not part of the dictionary. If you had not worked there for 30 years, your opinion was not worth a lot. I am actually very sad to state the above as I learned to know so many good people in this company over quite many years in different management roles. I have also seen some brilliant external expertise brought in to cover skills gaps but after trying their hardest for a few years, they decided to leave.
