Pros

Okay compensation and benefit. Variety jobs to choose from. Big name on resume.

Cons

Germans are given the first priority for promotion, despite their experience or education level. The company runs like a government office. Your career path depends on who you know. Change management on annual basis in many groups, mostly German come and German go.
