Pros

Financially stable company. Growth opportunities but only if willing to move. Decent pay if you get overtime. Wide options of health insurance plans.

Cons

Expected to work 70+ hours per week. Huge bonuses for upper management at the expense of the lower levels of staff. Called a "family" company but that only means that it's privately owned by family members. Although owned by German parent, generous European vacation entitlement not provided to U.S. workers. Constant increases in health care costs even though company is profitable.

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
