Pros

Loose scope Relatively easy work for engineer as one works at a small area Every engineer has a back up (so unlikely your boss would do much just to retain you) Automotive is promising industry

Cons

Management works for bigger team rather than more opportunities for employees I observed more and more new hires directly from India and previously Philippines No AWS and bonus cut to 75% as before Two months notice period (so management need work less to retain talents)

Pros

- Clear Vision from global top management. - Local Top management fosters a good work culture. - Leadership capable of mobilizing and motivating Employees - Bonuses for employees - Profit sharing. - Cab services - not every company provides. Flexible working hours. Not much pressure.

Cons

- Alignment problems between middle management and top management. - Too much hierarchy and information loss. - Passive and old timers in the middle management. - Not recommended for Techie guys. They are more interested in saving their seats. - Management lacks initiative and dynamism. - Has no proper work or salary standards. Germany does not share core work & local management have top talent to finally spit on their faces. - Germany isn't devoid of petty politics. They don't appreciate and cannot handle conflicts in opinions.They have a long history of politics, to push aside worthy guys. They are proud of their history, but, don't like Hitler who is part of their own history. - Fact is, Company could not retain guys who made all the technology and whoever exists now is almost a fake (providing benefit of doubt). So, they would like to deflect conversations and protect their seats. Do not expect anything remotely technical from them. Worst of all, they won't accept it.
