We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the work-life balance and the friendly colleagues during your time in Singapore. A supportive team environment and sustainable working hours are important to us, and it’s good to know that this was part of your experience. We take your feedback regarding staffing levels, unclear responsibilities, and collaboration seriously. When it’s not clear who is responsible for what, or when there simply aren’t enough people, frustration builds quickly — we understand that. We regularly review workflows, responsibilities, and team setups and make adjustments where needed. Thank you for your contribution during your time with us, and we wish you all the best for the future. Kind regards, Your Heraeus HR Team

Pros

Solid company, with a long history and stable portfolio of products and services. This company has been around almost 400 yrs in total and can probably last another 400.

Cons

Extremely Germany-centric. The company is based in Germany, but they make sure you feel it. All the subsidiaries in North America and Asia are treated as lesser-than. They get no support, no training, and no inclusion. Germany and the German sites are the only ones that matter, and everything exists as a kind of scaffold for the Germans.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your many years of contribution as Quality Manager in Chandler. We appreciate your recognition of Heraeus as a stable company with a long history and a strong portfolio. That continuity remains an important part of who we are. Today, the Heraeus Group is a broadly diversified and globally leading technology and family-owned company with more than 17,000 employees worldwide. At the same time, we take your concerns regarding perceived Germany-centric decision-making seriously. While Heraeus is headquartered in Germany, we operate globally and depend on the expertise, perspectives, and leadership of our teams across all regions. Our aim is to foster a culture built on respect, visibility, knowledge-sharing, and mutual support — where opportunities, development, and collaboration are not defined by geography. If there is a gap between that intention and individual experience, that is important feedback for us. Thank you again for your commitment during your time with Heraeus. We wish you continued success in your professional journey. Best Regards, Your Heraeus HR Team
