Pros

Looking for a career head-start? Working student roles here offer up to €20/hr (gross). Plus, with IG Metall benefits, you’ll enjoy salary growth, extra vacation time, and annual Christmas bonuses. A perfect spot to grow professionally

Cons

While the perks are great, the transition from working student to full-time employee has become increasingly difficult lately. I recommend applying for full-time roles at other companies well before your current contract ends. Additionally, most industrial PhD programs require German proficiency, which remains a significant barrier for international students. While working in R&D increases your chances of securing a PhD, strong German skills are usually a prerequisite.

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
