Pros

Really good people trying to keep the wheels on, the pay is on scale for this part of the country

Cons

The extremely burdensome quality policy keeps the company from being competitive in the product development and manufacturing arena. Too many chiefs, not enough people that actually try and move the ball forward. Too many sideline coaches that just throw wrenches all day long getting in the way of progress. Upper management has no clue where to steer the ship.

Pros

Freudenberg took over a bankrupt company "Elcomax" at Munich last year, where i worked. Very nice place to learn lab establishment. Search new project partners, collaborate with universities.

Cons

R & D labs are in worse condition. The team is also very fresh and new, not much experienced people are working there. I did not find good and challenging project there. If you are able to speak fluent German, then good place to work. No international work environment.
