Big company with rules but with many opportunities

Pros

It's an international company where you have the possibility to work with people from around the world on top technologies and products. Top management has clear vision on the offering side that helps the company to stay focused. The diversity of Health Care, Consumer Electronics and Light gives them the strenght for not so good times as these now. The work / life balance is very good in Austria. Very flexible work times and remote working (if that's an option) are possible. That works very well here because there is a very good team spirit.

Cons

It's a big company with many rules to follow but flexible enough to ensure that the job gets done.
