Pros

-good infrastructure and great budget allocation for IT projects. -Nothing comes free. -Flexible working hours.

Cons

Co-workers: If you work in the BMW IT you can forget everything you know about standard IT from an international perspective. You get to work with a lot of extremely rude and arrogant people that has very little to do with IT. Some would say it is an equivalent of production band. very rare are good people. if you find a qualified person its guaranteed that they are overworked, under-appreciated and highly frustrated. Most people here spend lot of hours either staring at a monitor or sitting in meeting rooms with no real purpose. Mangagement- like most of us, they have very little knowhow on whats going on around or above them. Hierarchy is extremely important. Lack of transparency goes hand in hand with that.

Pros

Everything in general, the work environment is friendly, there is a huge respect for work colleagues, the work performed is suited to my abilities, the technology used for day to day is good, the R&D peak of the wave, wonderful facilities

Cons

Maybe too political and difficult to promote once you reach to certain level. Getting a good mentor is a good approach.

Pros

The brand name always attracts attention and has a certain level of prestige to it.

Cons

The colleagues in BMW are not very helpful and expect one to come begging them for information or knowledge. Even when you do so, they often retort with a simple "I have no time". Many people in BMW do not like to deal with anyone who doesn't speak German which is strange considering that they are an MNC. There is also a glass ceiling for anyone who isn't German to rise through the ranks. They mostly promote Germans only for even middle management positions even though better qualified people are around.
