Pluspunten

Great inspector/technician/operator/engineer relationships-- most are highly skilled and a pleasure to be around. There is a real sense of community here.

Minpunten

For years, two department heads were in an unethical relationship that lead to countless conflicts of interest, created an uncomfortable, unprofessional work environment, and on occasion even jeopardized employee safety. Any HR personnel who refused tacit approval of this arrangement were quickly shown the door. Management would, like clockwork, ask for SME input only to disregard it completely before taking on even more projects they would dump on the already overloaded engineering teams. Countless talented individuals were lost to burnout and turnover. Much later, management started to come around and manage resources more realistically, and the individuals in the compromising relationship were pushed out of the company, but only after incalculable business and talent had been lost and trust in management had been completely undermined. Too little too late.

Pluspunten

Stable company with broad global reach. Front office jobs not demanding, hybrid schedules and low expectations lead most to be 30-35 hr weeks.

Minpunten

At first this looks like a positive: you’ll notice that many employees have tenures of 15,20, 30 years. But that leads to a lot of group think and insular behaviors. They actually have a common statement among employees - “you’re not a Freudenberger unless you’ve been here 10 years.” Not exactly a welcoming statement to new employees. If you’d like to have your input and thoughts ignored for a decade, this is the place for you. Convinced they have great technologies, but in market terms, average technology at best. Horrific infighting between divisions. Management meetings resemble Klukluxclan meetings in terms of diversity. Pay scales below market, 401k match very weak
