Pros

Global company, the benefits are pretty good, and the work is really easy We always heard about training opportunities at Grundfos Academy, but i believe they were myths.

Cons

There is very low employee morale that has plummeted in the past few years with new management. In Indianapolis, they ran off almost everyone that knew what they were doing by trying to get anyone with more than 10 years of experience to retire. They get rid of people who challenge ideas, even respectfully, so they don't have to explain any decisions. Business is suffering horribly because workers are not engaged. Laziness is reward and hard-workers are neglected. It is not uncommon to ask questions and hear "that's not my job" as an answer from almost any department. Management structure is very top-heavy, with lots of managers who seem to just sit around and talk all day, only leaving meetings to grab a bag of chips and a coke. Managers are more concerned about protecting their own agenda than doing what is best for the company or their employees.

Pros

- Strong focus on sustainability and innovation - Supportive team culture with colleagues who genuinely want to help each other - Good work‑life balance and flexibility depending on the department - Opportunities to learn and grow if you take initiative Grundfos is a solid place to work if you value purpose‑driven work and a collaborative environment. There’s room for growth, but you need to advocate for yourself and stay proactive.
