Pros

- Good work-life balance - Friendly colleagues and a nice working environment

Cons

- Glass ceiling if you are not German (or don't speak it) - If you are not German, you feel like a second class employee - Below market salaries and bonuses - Unmotivated workforce - General trend of moving business back to Germany or outsourcing - Dealing with head office is like trying to deal with government bureaucrats - Dedication, loyalty and hard work not appreciated or rewarded - Many senior & mid-level managers stagnated for many many years, stalling progression for many - No pipeline talent and senior managers unfazed with the inability to retain talented juniors who keep leaving for competitors
