Pros

A strong brand (in Central Europe, at least). Reasonable compensation. Pleasant work environment in the headquarter. Working towards greater diversity and encouraging job-swapping. Decentralised approach allows for greater flexibility and agility

Cons

Still suffers from silo-thinking as business area and department heads compete to promote themselves rather than putting the customer first. Still too much focus on investors. 'Germany first' mentality among leadership Decentralised approach allows too much optionalism, inconsistency and inefficiency

Pros

good learning platform for joiners. Good exposure to basic engineering work for chemical engineers

Cons

too much textbook oriented. Lot of bureaucracy and paperwork even for small approval. The bottom most employees are pressurized a lot. Too many bosses to report to.

Pros

The people are technically competent, helpful and friendly There's not a lot of politics, everyone is focused on doing good work

Cons

Very slow career progression - senior after 7 years is the standard Not much career advancement within the departments Downturn has resulted in all professional development programs to be halted, the company doesn't even pay for submissions of ECCs to get chartered status! (it's only $880...) Very pessimistic overall mood Lots of restructures in the past few years, results unclear Wages have barely grown for the past 3 years.
