Pluspunten

Nice market niche for what they do. Some people actually care that their day to day work matters to the broader team.

Minpunten

Questionable management ethics. Mediocrity is the "over achieving target" for majority of management and company culture. Company arrogance: if it's not invented at Grainger or hasn't been done before at Grainger, it doesn't exist. If you have the capability to recognize that the king has no clothes on and refuse to tell anyone that the the king has no clothes on, even though everyone can see that he doesn't, you will do fine in the company culture.

Pluspunten

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Minpunten

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
