Pros
The CEO is a strong proponent of key employees meeting and working with each other at divisions in Germany, China and US. Travel has not been limited, so there is plenty of opportunity for cultural interaction and unique experiences. Since VIA is a very small company (LLC) you will get to exercise your skills far beyond what you were hired to do. Great people and a close knit community make for easy communication and problem solving.
Kontras
Loosing a single customer can throw a monkey wrench into the best laid plans. Nearly all direction and approval has to come from Germany. Decision making at headquarters is slow and impacts customers. If business is down cutbacks are much easier to make in the US due to the fact that US law has the least protections for its employees. The company owner micromanages to the minutest detail. When an individual reaches their thresh-hold of exasperation they then quit, the company has a high turnover rate. Benefits are very limited due to the size of the company. Salary is offered at market value and then discounted 20% and called "variable pay". There are so many conditions and restrictions placed on variable pay that it essentially never gets paid out.
