Pros

Total Rewards: Salary, Incentives, 401k match and Health Benefits are all excellent.

Cons

The past and present leadership in Germany has made a lot of bad decisions. Their DSO restructuring was also poorly executed and over empowered VPs who often valued politics and perception more than merit. The company then laid off a lot of hardworking managers, blamed them for bureaucracy while celebrating the layoffs and their soccer team. Very tone deaf.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
