Pros

Exciting industry and good coworkers.

Cons

No strategic planning from upper management. All that matters to upper management is the number of units shipped each week. Quality is an afterthought, resulting in continued issues with the product. People leaving in droves and not backfilled, putting more work on those that have stayed. Expected to manage an unreasonable amount of projects. Upper management gets promotions but when lower level people leave those responsibilities are put on employees with no compensation. No senior engineers remain resulting in zero mentorship for younger employees. Absolutely no training, professional or career development offered. CEO touts record setting profits but raises are minimal and below inflation. Increased benefit costs passed on to employees while the company takes very little of the cost burden. Payroll and benefits issues common. No paid maternity leave. Management does not care about employee mental health. Absolutely no diversity in the leadership team and very little diversity within the salary workforce.

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
