Pros

1. great location downtown sf 2. open to international employees and work sponsorship visas 3. great international projects 4. some good colleagues 5. great IT manager

Cons

1. Management does not follow what they preach (e.g. they will work from home but will not let you work from home) 2. The Management is never in the office (e.g. 2/4 senior executives make an appearance twice a year in SF, the CEO sucks up to headquarters in Germany to keep the office alive and the remaining director juggles two young children while coming into the office 3 days a week for about half a day at a time) 3. 90% of projects require German language skills. If you do not have them, you are screwed for staffing. 4. High attrition rate. Between 2013 and 2014, 7/20 full-time employees left. 5. Salary is 30% lower than market rate.

Pros

There is still an opportunity to learn a lot if you are pro-active and can work stand-alone. You can be permanently busy on the projects if experienced enough.

Cons

Management lost the last spark of decency. Many people leaving the company after working 5-10 years, being completely demotivated by the leaders. Despite any official performance indicators the evaluation of employees is done based on personal attitutude of the some managers. Work Life Balance is definitely not about this company. Level of scareness, untransparency and sycophancy is increasing from day to day.
