Great coworkers and pay, but US market struggles

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Excellent high quality coworkers Good pay Autonomous work

Cons

Teterboro facility extremely lacking compared to competitors. Overall, US is de- emphasized globally while representing a large portion of consumers. Being a Euro centric company, they haven’t figured out how to crack the US market. Pls note Dr Bertram is no longer CEO (hello Glassdoor!)
