Pros

Allegedly good salary. Havent been able to corroborate that though. Maybe other locations.

Cons

Management by fear, top is the first to break own rules such as respect for people, no emphasis on own know how, main issue is to cut costs, reflected in product quality later.

Pros

1. if you can survive, you can learn. (or come in/learn and leave)

Cons

- Toxic management - if you are a non-local, understand that you will be hired to work (on the weekends including Sundays where necessary) without any meaningful growth in your career ladder. - Micro management/Leadership (speaking about Sailauf) OR the lack of it. Leadership is very short sighted. Eg: When the top management (eg.VP of engineering), needs to be build relationship with customer, develop long term tech strategy, he is busy debugging issues with Engineers. Lost in the weeds. - The leaders are surrounded by inner group and is not open to hearing a different view. - Bad work culture: Management will not guide or help you when the situation is bad. They will happlily throw you under the bus.
