Pros
Overall, a top-tier company to work for. Salary and benefits are excellent. There are colleagues who are truly a source of inspiration. Diligence, trustworthiness and good performance are valued and rewarded. Generally speaking, the people who work here, particularly the Germans, are the most considerate and respectful people I've known.
Cons
Restructuring/reorganization/acquistion/divestiture/rebranding happens too frequently. Too many portfolio changes and new reforms are being introduced; there is a lack of focus on their practical implementation. The office politics is not for the faint-hearted. I enjoyed thoroughly my earlier years with the company when we were like one big happy family.
