Pros

Great international company with interesting markets and - of course- product. Besides the car stuff you also have a lot other products and services to deal with, if you want. Several programmes in particular in your early years support you to come around and see different areas of the firm. This can include trips to several departments like marketing, production, controlling, finance, ... or even to see a variety of different markets. BMW is active in so many different areas, that it will give you a lot of bonus miles. Still you word for a good old german company, which has its values in terms of employee treatment

Cons

The hierarchical structure is the biggest point of citicism. It's hard to get to the top, however, it is also hard to loose you position (no up or out thinking)

Pros

BMW - is the worldwide corporation where you are the part of this massive and powerful work-machine. I was absolutely sure in my future. And I get perfect work experience in BMW working with high professional people. By being a part of this well-known brand gives you confidence in your good opportunities in your next career steps even if it is not with the BMW. In BMW Group Russia I was leaded by the very professional GM – Mr. Kremer. Moreover as because Russia comes to be very aggressive developing market within last few years I get the perfect chance to be on a top of this “wave” and to see myself how the small market transforms into big and important market with all the ensuing consequences.

Cons

Having good experience from German management I can’t say same for Russian management team. And sometimes I met typical Russian old fart employees. Team was not very solid, friendly and helpful for each other but this is more because of Russian mentality. Fluctuation was very high due to low salary (comparing to the other automotive brands) and low career growth.
