Intern going full time - werkgeversreview Applications Engineer bij CST Computer Simulation Technology

Great company culture, great product, a focus on being the best and getting things done while treating employees fairly, compensation is good, turn-over is low.

A few back-end processes could be streamlined, but nothing that makes you tear your hair out trying to get work done

1. Freedom in work environment 2. Good work-life balance 3. Opportunities to learn from experts and pioneers in numerical EM methods 4. Wide variety and range of industry applications and customers 5. Opportunity to travel for customer visits, exhibitions, workshops, trainings etc. 6. Flat hierarchy without many levels of org structure 7. Responsive R&D team in Germany for quick fixes 8. Nice spacious office without cramped cubicles 9. Small team and easy interaction with colleagues

1. Compensation can be more competitive 2. Very high (but comprehensive coverage) medical insurance costs compared to big companies 3. Very slow response to sponsoring permanent residency for international employees 4. Work from home policy can be more flexible 5. Fewer younger colleagues and hence can be challenging to socialize, but this is improving now.
