Pros

Lots of opportunities to work globally and with Fortune 500 companies as customers.

Cons

Recognition of personal achievements is getting worse (due to companies plans to significantly reduce workforce in Germany). Extra payments (outside of regular monthly salary) has been almost extinguished. Lots of very talented experts left the company or are planning to leave.
