Pros

Average pay and benefits. If the company does well, the bonus can be very good.

Cons

Sexist management - if you're a female, be prepared not to advance. If, by some chance you do get a promotion, it will either be because of your physical attributes or because you are completely non-threatening. Cliques - Management allows some pretty brutal cliques to remain. This entails not sharing information or training with newcomers trying to learn their jobs, temper tantrums, cronyism, and LOTS of backbiting. Management actually encourages the backbiting. When the operations isn't doing well, expect to be asked to take days off without pay, not to receive any pay increases, and salaried lay offs. Foreign Management - With the Forging Group, this means Brazilian Management, whose solution is to promote their fellow countrymen without requiring them to work, lay off qualified employees, and replace them with more Brazilians. Very, very questionable financial forecasting and income recognition practices - specifically, financial results are fabricated to favor Forging Group Headquarters.

Pros

First off please note then when reading other's reviews that there are MANY divisions and companies under the ThyssenKrupp name. Do not allow other's negative reviews deter you from the company as their experience is of their division only. I personally work for the Industrial Services Division under ThyssenKrupp Materials NA which I can't recommend enough. There is a tremendous amount of growth opportunities available. You get out what you put in. If you have a passion for what you do it will show. If you provide solutions and are actively engaged you will be rewarded. They have an excellent benefits package and 401k plus profit share.

Cons

The culture is under repair and being put as a top priority via employee culture surveys. There is nothing wrong with the current culture but as with any organization there is always room for improvement.
