Pros

Nothing I can think of.

Cons

C-Level creates an atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust. Feedback culture? Ridiculous. If you stick your head over the fence, it will be chopped off immediately. Hire&fire mentality in GE style. These GE guys will ruin the company and fire the ones who have an idea how to run the business.

Pros

Growing company with opportunities to advance technically and professionally. A strong management team with the right combination of experience and energy. Nikon acquiring the company has added resources and stability with no apparent downsides. I think this is the best company to work for now in the 3D-printer manufacturing industry.

Cons

It is a growing company and in a well-managed company, hiring typically lags revenue growth. This scenario can result in extra working hours while hiring is catching up. The company is hiring at a very high rate. Something that is both a pro and a con is the collective agreement for the employees in Germany. On the positive side it ensures a solid benefit package and has provided good inflation adjustments. On the negative side, it can lock wages into brackets and limits performance-based compensation.
