Time flexibility & variety of projects (not just a single product to support for years). Friendly atmosphere.

Business Outlook

Pros

nice office building, mostly nice co-workers

Cons

lack of strategy, no career opportunities. Intransparent and unfair: benefits are given to a small group of people (because they know each other, not because of good work).

Working at Fraunhofer

Research assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Industrial experience that you can gain while doing your PhD. Also, you can learn to sell science at Fraunhofer which gives you an edge over other academic scientists.

Cons

For all your handwork compensation is negligible. Also if you are doing a PhD side by side it always takes a long to complete as your focus suffers because of other project commitments.
