Pros

I've worked with some great people that are very talented in their field. Most people are extremely hard working and dedicated to their careers. New facility is clean, but lacking some basic necessities (ie hot water, windows).

Cons

Systems are configured poorly; not user friendly for North American market - geared more towards users in Germany. Company culture is cut-throat with little room for promotions. Punitive management style with several of the leaders. Many employees in fear of losing their jobs.

Pros

This is a great company with a very clear value proposition. The work genuinely matters, and you can really make a difference through what you do every day. There’s a strong sense of purpose, and it’s easy to see how individual contributions connect to the bigger picture. The people are another major strength. Talented, collaborative, and genuinely supportive colleagues make this a great environment to do meaningful work. It’s also a place where you can truly be yourself—differences are respected, and authenticity is valued. For those who are genuinely committed and willing to put in the effort, there are real career opportunities and room to grow. Overall, it’s a rewarding place where strong values, impactful work, and great people come together.

Cons

None- great place to work
