Pros

Generally good work atmosphere. Cares about employees. Your experience here (good or bad) really depends on what department you're in.

Cons

Can't seem to find its way; has gone in many directions over the years. Periods of high turnover especially in management. Understaffed in some areas. Top management in Germany is strictly traditional and male-dominated.
