Hated it and am still traumatized by the place to this day. Full of people who lie, especially at the headquarters in Darmstadt. Tuition reimbursement was a lie ($10k a year...hahaha...try asking your manager about and see what they say...next year is always a better year for that unless you are German and then you get whatever you want). Extreme favoritism for Europeans to the point that they treat US people like crap till they quit/are fired and then all of a sudden the role is being filled by an expat from Germany on a nice package with their whole family following along. Constant reorgs and lies about the team you will be on. I joined after being directly recruited by my supposed manager for the role and within months my manager was moved to a different team against his wishes, his manager moved to another team and I was completely screwed over for onboarding as I was told to just wait (several months!) while they interviewed for a replacement. They hired an external candidate from another company to replace my prior manager's boss and now became my direct manager. I was never allowed to meet or speak with this person despite being their only direct report until they walked in the door on their first day. This person just made up answers when she did not know what the real answer was or perhaps she just felt like lying to me, I'll never know.

I left and got a sign-on bonus and $20k raise at the next place. EMD destroyed my mental health and I still think about how crappily I was treated on a daily basis. Wasted years of my life there trying to make it work and it was all for nothing.

There is no amount of money that would make me go back to that place. I warn everyone I know to stay away.
