Pros

Hach is a solid company in a solid business; they are an industry leader with very well regarded products and generally happy customers. Compensation and benefits are pretty fair.

Cons

With any larger company your experience will vary based on department and role, but in general the workload ranges from "excessive" to "insane" with 50-60 hour weeks being very normal in many roles. There is little to no respect for the employees. Projects are managed tightly to timelines and budgets with little regard to end quality and any gaps are usually left to the employees to make up.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
