Pros

LHT is a great company and industry leader; 401k match is top notch. They offer a great product and high prestige in the market.

Cons

Poor pay compared to market - they match pay to German standards which are lower thanks to generous welfare state. Germans are often brought in to take key roles - it seems there is a high mistrust of Americans. For example all major sales positions in North America are held by Germans. No promotion possibility for American sales employees. In my time almost all young talented Americans left the company; remainder were Germans and immigrants who accepted lower wages.

Pros

Interesting industry, kind and smart colleagues, huge company that promotes from within so lots of opportunity, strong work-life balance, flight benefits

Cons

They pretend to be an international company, but they are not. All the VPs and senior management and up are German, so if you don't speak German, you can only get to a certain level. The pay is not the most competitive and the bureaucracy is insufferable.

Pros

Culturally rich and diverse. Many differing backgrounds from all over the world. You can form a decent bond with your coworkers, and most employed know what to do and how to do it. Management is average with an exception of one or two being great. Great vacation and PTO time versus other like companies. Climate controlled.

Cons

Lackluster management that aren't clued into the floor and what's happening, how the culture is, and how the overall vibe is. It used to be come and go as you please as long as your work was completed in a timely fashion. They started to tighten up in/out clock in times which defeated the purpose of the lower than normal wages. Management seemingly promotes their friends/buddy's, which is almost standard in any workplace not in tune to who's ACTUALLY capable. They've promoted more than a few unqualified people into positions that had a lot of us scratching our heads in confusion.
