Pros

Excellent insurance benefits and work life balance. Good for people who can work independent as projects are smaller and less inter-team dependence

Cons

- Lack of pay parity between long time employees and new hires. Management pays aggressively for new hires while loyal long time staying are underpaid - Deaf management: doesn't listen to employee feedback - Germany controlled and handled: lack of independence from germany; US management is a puppet. - Slow to adapt emerging techs; stagnant tech - Not competitive as talent pool is thin

Pros

Good benefits and the non-executives are good people. You’ll learn a lot in a couple of years so you won’t be bored.

Cons

Non-agile company. Internal processes keep changing/adding up making it the most non-efficient company I’ve worked for. Marching orders coming from Germany and they keep removing support engineers as they want more sales people.
