Pros

- Talented and well-meaning colleagues in the engineering teams. - Office is well-equipped, though not easily accessible from central Munich.

Cons

- Highly controlling management style, with limited space for independent thinking or feedback. - Strong reliance on informal networks for career advancement; transparency is lacking. - Disconnect between branding and internal practices—decision-making is slow, and innovation is often blocked by rigid hierarchies. - Limited benefits beyond base salary; minimal focus on long-term employee development. - Leadership accountability is weak; difficult situations or complaints are often ignored. - Engineering functions are gradually being relocated abroad, with unclear communication to affected teams.
