Pros

There are a few coworkers that are fantastic. Diverse workforce. Pressure to perform is relatively low.

Cons

There is not a single senior engineer left in this department. There is zero mentoring. There is zero professional development. Most projects are basically a manufacturing transfer where you get to play the role of whipping boy for the customers. There is zero innovation, every machine at your disposal is 20 years old. Salaries and raises are pathetically small and there are no performance bonuses for anyone that isn't senior level, while the CEO brags about how every year is setting records for sales. HR claims they do a salary survey of the area to remain competitive, but they must only be surveying the local McDonalds.

Pros

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

Cons

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
