Pros

Large corporation, multiple opportunities for career changes or locations. Benefits are reasonable. They work very hard to remain competitive in the market and are a leader in most of their markets.

Cons

The need to remain competitive means they work with minimal staffing which means the hours can be long. It's a German company and Germany is #1 priority - multi-billion dollar job-saving programs are implemented at headquarters while other regions are downsizing - lowers morale.
