Pros

Junior management and executive level colleagues are helpful to each other. Friendly local environment (no german management in the factory). Not much overtime and able to go home on time.

Cons

Autocratic CEO who works there for more than 2 decades and runs like his own chinese family business. Biasness in the middle/upper management. Employees having affairs (within the upper/middle management and lower levels). Salary is not competitive and company has "take it or leave it" kind of mentality.

Pros

Local management was excellent - very supportive, recognized achievements, did their best to utilize ideas provided by employees. Pay was competitive.

Cons

There is a serious disconnect between corporate management in Germany and local management in the U.S. Germany would often try to shove misguided programs down the throat of a business that is already doing very well.
