Pros

Good work/life balance.

A few really smart people with great ideas.

Cons

Saddled with 40+ years of what is now technical debt that they don't want to deal with.

Large portions of the workforce are unwilling (and cannot be compelled) to learn new skills or technologies.

Management is more concerned with people getting along and making their numbers than actually making strategic decisions.

Below average pay in the U.S. (even though the Germans think U.S. employees are paid too much).

Advice to Management

Move headquarters to the U.S. and act like a tech company.

Don't be afraid to make big decisions, even if that has implications on the workforce.

Provide opportunities for your employees to learn new technical skills and incentivize them to do so.
