Pros

DTAG is located in over 50 countries worldwide. DTAG has massive ICT resources. DTAG is still partly owned by the German Government.

Cons

DTAG HQ leaders and top managers, being primarily native-born Germans, inaccurately assume they understand and know what is going on outside of Germany without the necessary motivation nor courage to ask open questions like "Wie geh'ts?"

Pros

Have access to upper level management and casual working environment. Telecommuting is acceptable. Senior leader ship gives you great insight into the over direction of the company. You can be heard in almost any field inside the company you have an interest in.

Cons

Long hours expected and holiday taken are looked down on. Getting prompted or raises is difficult. Though you can give yourself what ever title you want, you will not get any more respect or bonus. The balance of work life definitely leans on work.
