Business Outlook

Pros

very strong brand, history of innovation, some very good people (occasionally even in management). Robust management system (not necessarily caring for your well-being, but helps the business stay afloat). Good benefits. Many opportunities, in part due to high turnaround.

Cons

EU-based, mostly Germany, with all the insane EU regulations but without their work/life balance. German economy has been in recession, hence very severe cost cutting year after year. Yes, that includes limiting your earnings, as a way to save money for the shareholders. High employee turnaround.
