Pros

Good benefits Indy is a good place with lots to do and affordable cost of living No patent expirations that lead to significant revenue loss (unlike pharma companies) Friendly people

Cons

Mediocrity accepted Focus on just trying hard as opposed to delivering results Conservative values Lack of courage and creativity. Market follower, not leaders Good ole boy network (white males) rules Poor career management support and succession management, even for those considered "high potential" Americans are not given career opportunities. Must be from Germany or Germanic country (Switzerland, Austria, etc.)

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
