Thank you for your top rating and your recommendation! Great to hear that you could run your own project and really take ownership. That’s exactly what we want for our working students. Trust, responsibility, real impact. It’s also nice to read that you connected with many people and worked on diverse, challenging topics. That’s how learning happens: by doing. Thanks for being part of the team in Hanau. We wish you lots of success for what’s next! Best regards, Your Heraeus HR Team

Pros

The work-life balance was great The benefits and pay were good

Cons

Very bureaucratic, and the site manager has no clue how to manage the facility. The Chandler site is small, so there is not much career growth.

Thank you for your feedback, your time, and your many years of commitment with us in Chandler. While we may not have received a full rating from you, we are pleased to hear that work-life balance, compensation, and benefits met your expectations. We are aware that smaller sites can offer more limited career progression opportunities and that processes may sometimes feel bureaucratic. Leadership and site performance are therefore reviewed on a regular basis. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Best 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
