Great place for early to mid career engineers

Business Outlook

Pros

Small team with lots of corporate support. Plenty of opportunity to explore various topics (PSM, reliability, operations, controls, project management, construction management). Everyone is very friendly and it really feels like we’re all on one team. PTO is unmatched in the area. No work phones means once you leave work, you really do leave work.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy when decisions need to be made beyond the site level. The German management micromanages at a level that was shocking when I first joined. Operations will always be second to German R&D, if there are budget cuts, the plants see it first. Procurement is comically inefficient and will delay projects by months for no discernible reason. Engineering is a dead end unless you are willing to move to the big sites. Most engineers end up switching to buisness as a result.
