Pros

Some great people and a brand with a lot of potential.

Cons

People are not valued. Workload is high and recognition is low. Germany makes all of the major decisions and many are not right for the US market, but the US team is blamed when sales drop. Management is much more concerned about finding someone to blame instead of trying to fix problems or make things better. I could go on, but you get the idea...

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
