Pros

Benefits are some of the best out there.

Cons

Most employees are extremely overworked. Hourly production employees are poorly paid, poorly trained and forced to work extreme overtime. Salaried workers are underpaid and it is considered a badge of honor to work 12+ hour days, everyday. It's a "me" first environment where teamwork is virtually non-existent. Nothing happens quick as everything has to go through headquarters in Munich, what should take a few days takes months. The company has been driven into financial crisis and "cost savings measures" have been enacted - i.e. laying off hundreds internationally.

Pros

Pros are that they do find talented individuals, not sure how but majority of the individuals that I had the pleasure to work with were extremely talented and were able to perform under pressure.

Cons

For the majority this company has some interesting views of people. If you are different then them you are not welcomed. The main head quarters of this company is in Munich, Germany - the whole culture is set up around that. They do not welcome your ideas and you are to do what you are told. You are a puppet and you do not get to express your opinions or ideas that you might have to contribute.
