Pros

Great on-boarding! Opportunity to grow with a very diverse company, new to the US. Open office environment. The benefits package is pretty good too.

Cons

Patience will ultimately be your necessary, best virtue as this company adjusts to US culture. This open office environment has invisible walls, and an apparent pecking order. HR is the busiest department.

Pros

Good opportunities for young people, especially if they know German. Most people use it as way to get to better jobs later on. People need to come aboard knowing that they will make sacrifices. Salary is above average in nearly every department.

Cons

A lot of work, nearly every department is short-staffed because of high productivity demands. It's a good company if you want to earn money and learn a lot in a short period of time, just be sure that you are willing to make sacrifices.
