      Pros

      Supportive team, intelligent and capable colleagues that care about their work, positive environment

      It is a German company, so some adjustment to the German culture and approach is needed.

      Typical corporate America - good money, low empowerment.

      Pros

      Excellent 401(k), nice time off packages, great pay. Company has a very in-depth intranet and info is accessible to all employees. Company seems to embrace technology. Company communicates good values system.

      Cons

      Individual authority is VERY limited - All decisions must be fed up the chain and approved by the CEO (i.e. additional headcount, capital spend, etc.) - even the VPs are not empowered to make $40k hiring decisions. Frustrating, slow-moving company with arthritic decision speed. Corporate culture is to work 24/7, recognition is for working "long hours" (read: weekends, evenings, holidays) vs. actually achieving anything. Also, company is extremely reluctant to take any risks at all, therefore communications are exceedingly slow. Org structure is constantly changing/restructuring - feels a bit like change for change's sake, as the changes aren't held long enough to measure true impact.
