Business Outlook

Pros

Though not the best, but the compensation structure is above average as per the industry standards. Opportunity for international assignments would be there provided you are willing to relocate. Proven products in the market for a long period of time have created a strong brand so you enjoy the brand and reputation of the company. In most of the cases work-life balance would be there barring few functions or departments where you may have to work longer hours. Great mentoring culture so lots of learning opportunities if you are willing to learn.

Cons

The average age of employees is 50+ in the company so the company needs to hire lots of young people to bring in the fresh idea. Decision making seems to be too centralized and is primarily from Germany..it needs to be decentralized to the extent possible.
