1980's company disguised as an "innovative" culture

Pros

Coworkers in US were generally easy to get along with and helpful. Coworkers in Germany were a bit out of touch and lacked awareness for what true innovation looks like. German employees are very project focused and unfortunately they seem to lead their own projects even if they receive negative feedback. These are wasted resources and made myself and other US employees somewhat resentful of the German colleagues (unfortunate but true). Obviously this is not the fault of any one single employee and I realize that. Oh wait... this is supposed to be for pros. Other pros: -401k match is great -can climb the ladder if you work hard -remote working culture depending on department

Cons

-German colleagues wasting resources on 20 year old theories/projects and rolling them out to employees as "best in class" -annual raises are weak and below market. -no stock/equity in US and LTI is also below market -culture is very much US versus Germany (as if you can tell by my post). US is becoming as big as Germany site and Germany can't give up that power so they send their employees to the US for leadership positions. -difficult to make individual impact as decision making is frequently bottle necked due to the hierarchical structure. -bonus percentage well below industry average. -CEO sees employees as numbers not as people

Pros

-The people are incredibly awesome, intelligent, nice and fun to work with, if you have time to even catch up and talk to your coworkers outside of the fire fighting.

Cons

-Low pay compared to market and will tell you that you won't be treated as nicely as treated here -All competence is non existing once you get above L4s, most of leadership these days gets brought in from outside the industry and all who has years of experience internally gets pushed down or out -"Customer-centricity" is fake. They are more internally focused on their 5 reorgs a year to remember they have customers to provide for -You will not hear once "accountability" come from leadership, the business will always get blamed for lack of numbers even though the the business has been running lean since 2018, can't see customers, and has to do everyone's job during the 5 reorgs a year -Their values are fake, leadership are ghosts, morale has been dead for years, it is an actual depiction of the Titanic over there and encourage anyone to grab a life buoy while they can.

Pros

Benefits are great, paid holidays, flexible work schedule, direct supervisor and manager and team were great. Great work programs and events

Cons

Higher ups don't care about you or your feedback, they lie with fake surveys and reviews to make it seem like they care but then make decisions that directly affect you that is completely involuntary or negotiable. Some departments are very unorganized and certain supervisors were just downright dumb and rude.
