Pros
- over time, grown to love the "german" style -> efficient, to the point, if you have a problem, you get it fixed. It's that simple. Shoutout to the sysadmins, didn't have the time to express my thanks for everything. - very friendly colleagues, at least once you get to know them. At times, I felt like I was adopted in a second family. - projects are oriented towards engineering (semiconductors, usually). This was also a motivating factor to do my job well, as I'm an engineer at heart, even if I worked as a Software Developer and maybe you have to focus on other functionality, but the thought that what I did could have an impact on how the components are produced was all the motivation I needed.
Cons
- sometimes some projects are started with the mentality of "it's only for a few months, then it will not be used anymore". Three years after, you have to refactor half the code because of that.
