Pros

The everyday employees were ok

Cons

The management was verbally abusive (I got called various foul names on various occasions), HR did nothing to support the employee because they were to busy being friends with management. Absolute crap pay for the amount of work I was asked to do. If you're willing to kiss up you might make lead but your work ethic and experience have absolutely nothing to do with promotion or pay. I was hired for one position but was moved to completely unrelated departments (without discussing it with me) 3 times.

Pros

As one of the world's leading companies in the field, it was a great company to work for. Diverse product line, small, tight-knit feel. Always lots to learn, lots of high-tech products, corporate visits to Duderstadt and Vienna.

Cons

It's difficult to comprehend why Otto Bock would leave Minnesota and so many experienced employees behind after 55 years. Hundreds of lives effected for a few hundred thousand dollars in tax breaks? I think this says a lot about Ottobock... every employee and every customer is disposable.
