We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the work-life balance and the friendly colleagues during your time in Singapore. A supportive team environment and sustainable working hours are important to us, and it’s good to know that this was part of your experience. We take your feedback regarding staffing levels, unclear responsibilities, and collaboration seriously. When it’s not clear who is responsible for what, or when there simply aren’t enough people, frustration builds quickly — we understand that. We regularly review workflows, responsibilities, and team setups and make adjustments where needed. Thank you for your contribution during your time with us, and we wish you all the best for the future. Kind 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
