Germany

One of Europe’s largest countries, Germany encompasses a wide variety of landscapes: the tall, sheer mountains of the south; the sandy, rolling plains of the north; the forested hills of the urbanized west; and the plains of the agricultural east.

Germany is a great power with a strong economy; it has the largest economy in Europe, the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP, and the fifth-largest by PPP. As a global leader in several industrial, scientific and technological sectors, it is both the world's third-largest exporter and importer of goods. As a developed country that ranks very high on the Human Development Index, it offers social security and a universal health care system, environmental protections, and a tuition-free university education.

Climate
Most of Germany has a temperate climate, ranging from oceanic in the north to continental in the east and southeast. Winters range from the cold in the Southern Alps to mild and are generally overcast with limited precipitation, while summers can vary from hot and dry to cool and rainy. The northern regions have prevailing westerly winds that bring in moist air from the North Sea, moderating the temperature and increasing precipitation. Conversely, the southeast regions have more extreme temperatures.

Why Choose Germany?
German business culture is not very different from other European countries like France or Spain. Most business, especially the bigger ones, still have a traditional hierarchy with a strong management. Of course, this will be different in young start-ups. If you schedule a meeting, there will be a strict agenda. Efficiency is very important, and discussions are held to come to a conclusion and to take a final decision. And, of course: the Germans are super punctual! Are you rather a free spirit? In this case you will have to adapt. But the good point about having a job in Germany is that your salary should be reviewed every two years.
