Pros

Sauer- Danfoss allowed employees much leeway in attaining job goals. Most of the time I enjoyed the challanges. Often it was fun. The salary was decent. The benefits were excellent until the company started cutting things.

Cons

I retired in 2009. Layoffs, reduction of benefits, and hardening of HR's attitude convinced me to retire and claim the excellent retirement benefits while they were still available. Sauer- Danfoss was sold and taken private by Danfoss Corporation. Many of the people I worked with have left or retired since the Danfoss takeover. When I've asked recent retirees how it is working for Danfoss, they will usually reply with a roll of the eyes.

Pros

Great people working here. Always friendly and ask how you're doing. Not too much red tape when it comes to changing operations.

Cons

The work isn't too fulfilling. After all the company specializes in electronic parts for refrigerators. If you can get passed that you'll be in good shape.
