Pros

Flexibility, vacation time, not much else

Cons

Pay compared to competitors, you will not be promoted, and if you are it will be for an insulting increase in pay. Dealing with the German leadership is a nightmare. QA departments have full and total control of what other departments do and are employed by incompetent people.
