Pros

As a company based in Germany, their policies are somewhat pro-employee.

Cons

In the Procurement department, management didn't do their homework discovering and supporting those employees who possess integrity and do quality work; instead, they only looked to promote bullies or BS-ers or butt-kissers - or inexperienced MBAs whom they can control. Continuous re-organizations distract their people from doing the most important work. Management in Germany showed no regard to culture issues and limited PTO in the USA. They promoted internally all the good things the company is doing, yet were seriously behind on sustainability.
