Pros
* Decent salary and benefits (when location and national average are taken into account) * Very nice colleagues from all over the world * Very good work/life balance * Company supports personal development (trainings, conferences, ...)
Cons
* Developers from the parent company (BMW AG) actually have better benefits (35h work week, better bonus, protected by a union, ...) * Parent company treats Car IT as a premium supplier, not as a real part of the software department. * Many colleagues are bored and demotivated, which leads to uninteresting and non-productive work environment * Parent company is plagued by bureaucracy and does not understand the importance and potential of software in the vehicles (slow change in processes, bad/lack of QA for the software department, hiring cheap external companies for support and expecting high quality software, ...) * Being locked-in into collaboration with toxic partner companies and their abysmal tools. * Automotive industry is slow paced and far from the peak of software development.
