Good, but not great.

Pros

There are many talented people to work with and to learn from. Good campus. If you are good, patient and work hard you'll be promoted.

Cons

Salary below average when you start. Poor management and leadership. No clear mission. Too many fruitless meetings. Gym is a joke ;)

Pros

Great brand. Strong heritage. Very dedicated people in the field and in lower levels at corporate.

Cons

Senior management is more focused on keeping themselves employed and moving up the food chain with Germany than they are about the people who work for them. Very unsupportive environment that lacks openness and communication such that information is traded as a commodity to get ahead. Not focused on the investment in people or workplace health.
