Pros

Good work/life balance Friendly atmosphere Strong continual improvement culture This company has clearly defined policies and objectives which work well with structured people

Cons

Low pay - This company provides higher pay to those with advanced education. There seems to be more emphasis on what degree you have as opposed to emphasis on what experience you have.

Pros

- Professional staff to work with - Exciting relevant projects with current technology - Excellent training and team support - Flexible scheduling when not working on large projects with fixed dates - A culture of continuous improvement -A diverse global environment (although each specific location may not be diverse, the entire global team structure is). I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of countries and individuals around the globe. - Focus on high quality

Cons

- Compensation is on par for comparable companies/industry but is lower than the major consulting arms; but then again the positions are fixed, lower travel and much safer (an acceptable trade of secure position vs. salary). - Continuous improvement means time spent collecting data and analyzing data(along with completing standard development work). Improved quality means higher workload and keeping busy. - Work life balance is normally fair (as German labor laws tend to assist globally). However, expect to be on large global projects that require commitment. I would not consider work life balance a con, but rather an expectation of duty for strategic projects.
