Pros
Global Company, Large Privately held company.
Cons
Global Company but locally focused. If you are looking for an international opportunity, then this is probably not the place for you. Very structured (German), but also very rigid and not very creative. This is a great place to work if you are an accountant - they have more accountants than I have seen at any company. With that said, the management watches EVERY penny to the point that they are cheap and unwilling to invest in their basic infrastructure to grow their business. All costs from copier paper to pens are closely watched. It's more about how much they can take out of costs, than what can be invested for a good return, or producing a good quality product for the customer. Being top quality is not a concern as long as the product(s) are good enough to meet expectations. The HR has a full time job on their hands trying find a way to engage and retain employees, while at the same time processing termination and resignation packages. It's a revolving door with weekly, if not daily departures.
