Pros

The company gives you a company car (GMC Terrain) an IPhone and there is European Travel and training for some Purchasing Managers.

Cons

This company has poor and unorganized leadership. Often asked to do the same task three or four times over due to terrible oversight. Terrible place to start your career due to lack of training and development. There is conflict with European Management style and American talent, people are often belittled and embarrassed as a coaching mechanism. Company doesn't follow through on promises and commitments. Poorly trained leaders and promote people not based upon merit, lack of consistency in promotional process. Seek elsewhere if you want a stable company who invests in its people and treats them well. Major issues with diversity and lack of minorities and women in leadership. A point and blame others (other departments, international counterparts) company culture... not one of team building and inclusion.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
