Pros

They liked my work and the customer has genuine needs that provided some satisfaction. Germany is fun.

Cons

Poor compensation. The did not keep the deal in the written offer letter. Every chance they get, they use skeezy bookkeeping practices to avoid paying for moving expenses, travel and leave. It takes (on average) about $5,000-$10,000 to move to Germany. MCD reimburses about $7,000 of those....or say they will. It commonly takes 4-6 months to reimburse expenses and then denys claims according to obscure rules they don't explain. They offer three weeks leave, but expect 50 hour weeks minimum with no comptime. They say they have flextime, but require core hours between 8am and 5pm. They lie about the cost of living in Eurpoe, which is at least 20% higher than DC/NewYork. If you can't resist a chance to go to Germany, make sure you get the full moving expenses in cash up front and at least 30% higher salary than normal.
