Pros

Friendly environment among peers, flexible, there is a possibility for working from home, good benefits.

Cons

Marketing area is in diapers, they are not willing to accept new ideas, they adapt very slowly to change. There is very little room for growth, people don't really have a path to follow within the company. People are spending too many years in one position. Many of the Marketing Communications Managers (in Germany) micro managed everything. People used to a lot of freedom and to giving results would say managers have yet much to learn. Some even feel the job is beneath her/him. It becomes an obsession to try to make everything about them looking good and not the area and the results given. Sad to see people so prepared not given room to grow and be responsible.

Pros

Strong technical expertise within the organization. Exposure to a broad range of customers and applications.

Cons

My experience at this company was disappointing due to a lack of transparency, consistency, and fairness in enforcement of company policy. Compensation for employees in the same or similar roles varied significantly, with decisions often appearing to be based on individual manager discretion rather than clear, objective criteria. I also observed what appeared to be gender bias in pay decisions. Additionally, there were employees who contributed very little while others carried a disproportionate workload. This was extremely demotivating for those who worked hard, as there appeared to be little recognition or reward for taking on additional responsibility and delivering results.
