Pros

The compensation was very good. Casual work environment. Most of the employees were very knowledgeable. Most of the managers were accessible.

Cons

This is a company that is definitely stuck in the past as far as the work environment. It is a German company, and Durr North America is treated like second class citizens. Many of the managers are previous engineers (and for the most part very good ones), but many of them can not communicate with other human beings (Hi Joe). The way they monitor your time is ridiculous, I used to spend time on the customer site for months working 50-60 hour weeks, but when I would ask to leave an hour early for a dentist or doctor appt, I was told I could as long as I made up the missed hour in the same week. They have flex time --- with no flex. Your pick the time you want to work (7-4, 8-5, 9-6) and once that time slot is chosen, that is what you work every day from that day on.
