Avantages

Many neat, one of kind technologies. Most content manufactured in house.

Inconvénients

The neat, one of kind technologies are not accessible to most companies (even the large ones) due to initial and residual expense to maintain. Most don't see an ROI so tough to sell. Management is dysfunctional and yet arrogant. Borders on beng a hostile workplace in the US. German engineering is king here. The company does not really like or respect sales and marketing. Both are underpaid compared to the industry. US engineers must absolutely defer to European counterparts. Recent mass exodus of project management, engineering and sales professionals will most likely have a very negative effect on long-term growth. Schaefer has a true cultural problem.

Avantages

Stable business model, lots of freedom to explore technology! It's a big place and not allot of people, you can have an impact.

Inconvénients

Poor communication externally and internally. Lack of growth opportunities, likely due to off-shored development to countries with lower cost of living. Lean team size means If you can't fix a problem you can ask about one person before your completely screwed and have to wait hours for a solution from a random dev in a different timezone who may be unfamiliar with your building. Anytime we need the SIMPLEST code change it's a years long process. Instead of paying a dev to come to the site they want you to become an expert on what change they are making so devs from random countries can ask you what a conveyor or screen is doing. This process is painful, slow, unreliable, and expensive for the customer. You will have to learn for yourself. Only a handful of people know what's going on and they are too busy to answer questions or act as mentors.
