Pros
- I worked at BMW Car IT for a very long time and I always enjoyed the very familiar atmosphere, the team spirit and the great, motivated, skilled people working there - The flexible working hours and the trusting relation with my line managers allowed for a good work life balance - The nice office rooms with many goodies (free coffee, free fruit basket, generous working space, conference systems) made me feel like in my second home - In my time there I had the chance to participate in and lead a lot of challenging projects with a great variety of topics
Cons
- Over the years the company's focus shifted from research to pure series development which could also be done by a Tier1. Many managers do not come from an IT background and I personally disagree with the direction the company is going - The company grew too fast without the structures being adjusted accordingly
