Pros

- Very good life-work balance (sometimes too good to be true). - Colleagues are super friendly. Sometimes you can find very talented people. - Enough free-space to learn new knowledge and grow as a junior engineer. Enough un-important projects to rest as a senior.

Cons

- The company has been running for over a century. No surprise it is highly political, highly bureaucratic, extremely slow-pace. - Good salary when comparing within other German companies, but peanuts compared to the US or Chinese tech companies even located in Germany. - Can be recognized as a "high-tech" and innovative company in the traditional manufacturing and automotive sectors. No chance to win the game in the age of AI and Information technology.
