Pros

I think the last comments are a little short-sighted and unfair (as well as incorrect), there are American directors in HR, Real Estate, Procurement, Construction, Purchasing - perhaps not in Supply Chain or IT yet, but it's only a matter of time and effort before we prove ourselves there too. In general I think any ratings which have only one star or five can be ignored. True comments will always be constructive and realistic.

Cons

I'm a millennial too, but I feel a lot of my millennial colleagues have unrealistic expectations. I think the Europeans are ok, but they seem to be under a lot of pressure too.

Pros

Location, dynamic, company's car, change, interesting, good place to work, international environment. Currently trying to be in the ranking of best placer to work.

Cons

Sometimes chaos, hierarchical. It exists very dependence of the headquarters in Germany. German is the language of the company. It can be hard for you, if you don't speak German
