Pros

Great culture among colleagues, very helpful and supportive Very good compensation for 40h/w Great work life balance Good trainings and learning opportunities Excellent workers rights representation Management has also the interests of their teams in focus Job Security

Cons

It's a big ship that steers slowly, be prepared to bury some of your projects or things that you put work into. (You can utilize this in reducing your own stress while working, as you can guess after some time which things will never make it out of the drawing room) The "System Wolfsburg" is real. Be prepared for political games and network accordingly. Hard to get into a management position through the internal way. If you have the chance to enter management positions while coming from another employer take it.

Pros

Remote office work possible. Very family friendly. Most of colleagues in Germany are very good colleagues. Very strong workers' union.

Cons

There are 20% old fashioned macho types which still have the old german mentality (from before 1979) which think women are below them. These discriminating bullies are still around, also destructive people from the old management culture, which brought the company to its knees, and with their attitude they destroy the team spirit and demotivate the surrounding team. When these people are managers, they are there for their own gain; they change the position a lot. Although there are also good ones who care for their employees.
