Pros

Good salary for Czech standards, Good work life balance overall. As a Graduate Trainee I could explore different departments which was interesting in terms of Management. The new HQ is going to be very nice and up to international standards. Good company if you want to live around Mlada Boleslav do your hours and go home.

Cons

If you don't master Czech language, you will struggle as the mentality is: you are in Czechia, so you need to speak Czech otherwise you will be rejected and left behind. Also if you are ambitious and want to grow / improve things, this won't be a match as it's a very traditional company. The answer to the question why do we do that? Is often because it's a tradition or because of Volkswagen. So it's hard to improve or suggest changes. If you're young and look young, people will not take you into consideration thinking you aren't capable enough to be worth listening to. Overall, not a company if you dream big and see yourself in an international career.
