Pros
Great brand name, produces a very high quality product, industry leader, pay and bens top 2 quartiles against similar companies, great for the CV.
Cons
Very Germanic culture - spreadsheets and death by powerpoint are the language, little entrusted to employees, cannot use your initiative, almost no career path or ongoing learning/development programmes, almost no feedback on job performance, good or bad. Top management is mostly recruited in from outside at high salaries with few internal promotions, little diversity - few if any women, minorities in positions of management, no transparency in communication and late communication when the rumour mill has been running until management figures out how to do PR messages, people are a commodity and not valued, HR very weak and does not work for employees at all. Toxic and highly political environment, especially in marketing department.
