Pros

pays pretty well. no micromanagement. Can't think of that many. People are nice.

Cons

technology laggard, very cautious, IT is draconian (no IM, no personal software, no iTunes, lousy network), clueless management in Germany. Very distributed offices which makes communication very difficult. Clear trend to to move all development overseas where it's cheap. Very cost driven, not productivity driven. It's mainframe roots clearly show.
