Pros

It's tough to list out all the pros working for such a big company, because of the sheer size and differing divisions. Working in the automotive safety division as an engineer allows one to be a part of product development for products which will save the lives of many. As a German company, the work-life balance is superb, with 40 hr weeks and 30 days annual vacation.

Cons

The company, being in the automotive industry, and serving customers worldwide, will be bogged down with many processes, audits and bureaucracy. Things will be slow-moving and there are packets of long-term senior employees, who lack motivation.

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
