Pros

Payment is very good if you work in germany, since they are attached to the tarif. If you work somewhere else you might just get fired.

Cons

There is no coherent behaviour and the product is not in the focus. Senior management doesen't know what they are talking about creating an akward decoupling from reality, which is especially noticed by new employees. If you want to create things this is the wrong place. If you enjoy meetings and throwing around buzzwords that you dont understand you will love it.

Still old fashion. Incompetent middle management

Pros

Opportunities to change your position, department or division. Most of the colleagues are great professionals. Focus on innovation and long-term mindset. Upper management with a clear view about the future and willing to make brave decisions. Salary higher than average in industry.

Cons

50% of middle management is really incompetent, don't live by the values and are there just for the money or the status. Sneaky people that have learn to survive. Politics and networking are way more important than performance or dedication. Extremely slow processes. Disproportional operative workload even in strategic positions.
