Pros

Culture of entrepreneurship, delegated responsibilities and trust. Family environment , but still professional. It is a great place to work - although not flamboyant. Leadership is a guiding principle and the company normally lives by the principles. Ethical outlook and always compliant. Due to conservatism built into the DNA, the company is a safe financial bet. Long term orientation in the decisions.

Cons

Unstructured HR policies - so if you are looking at a 'career path' you can forget it. No structured training / skill development initiatives. Low risk apetite especially in new ventures. The norm is to go slow, but be sure. This can be quite frustrating. Not a class leader when it comes to compensation

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
