Pros
- huge product portfolio with a lot of good tools - huge organization with ample opportunity to shift roles - usually very social employer (exception lay-offs in Feb 2023 which was super poorly managed) - ok brand
Cons
- horrible management in almost all departments --> too many people being managers without proper qualification but based on tenure or nepotism - no innovation power or corporate vision - very "German" as the exec board consists of a few buddies playing soccer in the same hobby team - Hasso has become a burden vs an asset (which he was for so many years) - Ageism galore - questionable view on D&I - non-existing HR function (they are pure administrators) - most boring stock there is (attracting dividend shareholders, thus company does not take ANY risk or drives innovation) - poor compensation if you're not hired in the last 2 years
