Pros

A highly professional German company, with a global customer base

Cons

If you are not German, there are no promotions, limited training, cannot attend any company workshops as they are only run in German. The only focus on the company is making a profit with a focus on graduates to work in a full-time customer role, while been underpaid with limited/no pay rise. Management expects everyone to do two to three roles, to reduce the costs and don't care about employee well-being and HR do not acknowledge or support people with stress.

Pros

Great Senior HR. Work / life balance is good. Benefits and salary are good in this area. Colleagues are great.

Cons

In one word: Management! The management of the US location is the worst I experienced in my whole career (10+ years). The focus on KPI's and the (their personal) end of the year bonus are the only drivers for the daily decision making. There is no long term plan / strategy and no focus on having a good, healthy relationship with the customer. Decision regarding salary, position and who stays in the team is based on personal feelings/relationship of the management to the employee instead of performance and credibility at the customer. Which makes partly sense, because the decision makers have no idea about the performance of the workforce (and they don't care). Besides that, they lie - to the customer, to the employees and most likely to themselves too.

Pros

Opportunity to work on luxury automotive products while solving design problems related to quality performance of the individual parts and their assembly as well as performance in the field. Basically making the good better and the better best. Ability to work in a multi-cultural global team environment. Work in changing environments using a standard set of tools/skills.

Cons

Company management does not actually see your day to day work performance. Company management has focus on KPIs that keep them from losing money - basically their bottom line. Company management tends to look out for themselves and increasing money in their own pockets than they do of the team working directly with the customer. Company management will focus on maximizing their profit while using workers that don’t have the right experience or lack appropriate training instead of providing quality employees to work on behalf of the customer.
