Pros
Great opportunity in working directly with world class aerospace companies. Great vacation plan that allows 22 days for those with the company after 4 years, 25days after 5 years and eventually up to 30 days.
Cons
The great vacation days are entirely offset by constantly losing weekends due to travel. This comes with little to no compensation. Traveled 6 times on international trips for an average of 10 days at a time and lost 20 weekend days. Was given back 8 days during annual review only to find out later that at the whim of the VP this was actually 4 days. Left soon thereafter. The pay is simply OK. The management is strictly German and according to their culture the employees in the US are overpaid, but if you want to set up a tech company in the US then expect to pay 50-150k with an average at 100k if 50% travel is part of the recipe. There is no way around this unless high turnover is no concern.
