Pros

Great people, good leadership for the most part. You want to learn they will teach you. Good advancement if you put forth the effort. I started as temp on assembly line and when I left I was a process tech. Technology is advanced. Most leaders are great at getting input and involvement from the whole team. If you have an idea for improvement support staff will look into and implement if idea is a good one. Flexible with family issues. (Had health problems in my family and my leader always tried to accommodate me)

Cons

Pay scale could be better. Better bonus program. There was a few issues with HR following up an complaints. Especially rude behavior from other employees.

Too internally focused

Pros

Good, nice people. Most are trying hard. Compensations and benefits seem to be in-line with industry standards. Good internal training programs. Some departments can be great learning platforms for young professionals.

Cons

The organization spends too much time planning for unrealistic objectives. Since they never reach those, leaders have to create new, more aggressive, objectives and reorganizations. Leaders are rewarded for trying hard instead of delivering the results. This favors spending hours making powerpoints that looks great instead of satisfying customers. Probably due to the internal focus, Sauer-Danfoss products and services are not keeping up with competition and they lose market share. As volumes decrease, profits decline and the sales force has to go out for price increases which keep alienating customers.
