Pros
Porsche is and was a very high end brand with some of the most intelligent hard working people you will ever meet. While they are lean and have the expertise to handle constant change and uncertainty it can come at a cost. The cars, the facilities, the work environment and company culture are all very good. Pre covid there is a sense of comradery that exist throughout most of the organization Looks great on any resume and the perks are pretty good A lot of opportunity to engage in the brand and with the cars (If your team allows it)
Cons
Post Covid we learn that when the tide goes out, we can see who is skinny dipping. Work life balance can be non existent depending on your department. By letting go of 60% of the workforce in contractors and interns the people who actually do significant work in quantity suddenly get a job that is now 3 jobs in one. Although the company is flexible the work load is at a pace that will cause real stress and anxiety/ depression. Some management should not be managers. You can not have a culture of do-this and correct-this instead of promoting accomplishments and a sense of fulfillment from hard work. Some management found real difficulty in switching to remote work. When you have a company built of star employees, you do not micromanage your team. Some teams cannot engage in activities like brand ambassadors because the work load is too large or managers will not allow it
