A friend of mine who worked for them as an independent project manager for some marketing related IT-changes had to travel all over the country to get buy-in from the regional Sparkassen-groups for the project. Mind you, those weren't some earth shattering changes, but nevertheless he was the ~7th PM on that project which had already been in the works for 3 years.
