Pros

Technology & products are interesting

Cons

Global HQ is in U.S. they are really are a German company due to history, culture & hierarchical way of doing things. Complete lack of trust & communications between U.S. HR & German side of business U.S. HR personnel are incompetent - unfriendly, arrogant & do not understand the importance of keeping commitments to candidates during the recruiting process - they come across as uncaring & disrespectful to potential new hires. They don't seem to understand the importance of Customer Experience in the modern business environment.

Pros

Great location, few min walk from Centralna train station so ideal for commuting purposes even outside of the city! More youthful work environment. Good if someone needs a job quickly for a short term.

Cons

Messy and capricious management. High requirements to get hired. Salaries are nothing special when compared to other companies in the same industry in Warsaw., especially for management roles, creating mismatch between what Bruker expects and is willing to give. Transition management is the worst one i have personally seen, explaining why everything is still stuck. Polish alternative to Glassdoors gowork.pl has nothing else except valid complaints about Bruker. People are being hired and fired as per face value, not as per their skills.

Pros

Lots of freedoms, scheduling, travel itinerary, great colleagues for the most part.

Cons

Low pay, bad benefits, gave me the tiniest of raises then acted like i should be grateful even though my responsibilities had doubled since hiring. Was making 36$ more per year in my final year than in my starting year after adjusting for inflation. Direct manager was a clown. Zero opportunity to move up.
