Pros

The office is structurally nice.

Cons

The people who actually do work - get over loaded with work beyond capacity of what a hardworking person can accomplish in their 8 hour day. Then others in the departments - either sit on social media, paying their bills, buying pet supplies, etc - and texting with their other hand - all day - then the ones who are never at their desk - maybe if they were given a large work load like some get -maybe they would be doing A job.... there is a very large communication gap between managers and the workers. Many upper management - would not lower themselves to speak to you - with you standing right next to them. Very disturbing how they can actually act like that. I would never recommend working at such a place - RUN - believe me - it is NOT worth wasting your time. Get a real job - where you are appreciated for your hard work and effort and you can reap the benefits of getting a decent salary that you can afford to live on - very low salaries for most employees at Zeiss.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
