Positive - a complex company which grew rapidly through acquisition so lots of opportunity to help bring things together

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work on interesting things that aren't 'set in stone' yet - you can bring creativity to new things! Open to new ideas.

Cons

History brings a bit of bureaucratic tendency.... the heart of the company is the German post office which brings a long tradition of success through time-tested efficiency... you can get a letter anywhere in Germany in a day... so this 'success' brings some inflexibility when looking at a global company. The company business divisions also have a very federated model and in some cases a bit more central direction would be helpful!
