Pros

-Other employees mostly try to be helpful. -Decent working hours. -Semi-flexible working schedule. -401k matching is 5% and 1-1.

Cons

I'd switch careers before working here again. -Employees are pawns in a massive, horrible power struggle. -Engineers are continually ethically compromised. -Expertise and initiative from employees is not only ignored, but actively punished. -Below average pay, minimal raises. -No easy means for career advancement or training even on current duties. -Horrible, understocked labs. -Minimal access to hardware or software tools to perform duties. -Supposed employee review process that is completely unenforced. Semiannual reviews rarely happen. -Constant pledges by management to improve things while simultaneously acting in the other direction. -The most unhappy place that I've ever worked. -Chaos. -Business sectors within ThyssenKrupp cannibalize each other in attempts to be the lowest bidder on international projects.

Pros

TK Elevator has a recognizable brand and offers exposure to a large, complex organization. There are opportunities to work with talented individuals and gain experience supporting a broad range of operations. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company has the resources to drive meaningful initiatives.

Cons

My experience was that the work environment was highly dependent on individual leadership styles. Communication and expectations were not always consistent, and there was limited emphasis on coaching, employee development, and constructive feedback. As a result, the environment could at times feel reactive rather than collaborative. Work-life balance and employee well-being appeared to vary considerably across teams. Employees who value transparency, empowerment, and a supportive leadership culture should take time during the interview process to understand the management philosophy of their prospective team, as experiences may differ significantly depending on reporting structure.
