Pros

Nice colleagues, great quality products and international company.

Cons

Poor Sales management for the EMEA region. Autocratic HR management in Berlin. Quality, Customer Service, Warehouse, Sales, Marketing and other departments are mistreated by the German HR department. I was a few years ago at the HQ in Alameda and I can confirm that the management mentality in Germany has nothing to do with the open mentality in USA: no flat hierarchy, no open communication, no interest in people.
