Pros

Sure is a good group of people, having a starbuck cafe here doesn't hurt either. Management is focused on a culture of accountability and they don't shy away from saying that - refreshing! Constantly reinventing ourselves. Values based organization - not many companies can truly say that! You feel like you are part of something bigger!

Cons

Still a ways to go to be connected across the business groups...

EXTREMELY Poor Leadership (IT/SAP Project)

Pros

The people. The people are great to joke with and be comfortable around. This helps greatly in a high-stress environment.

Cons

Where do I begin... I was personally hired into Haworth as a resource on the SAP Project. Since my time at the company, and being a part in the SAP "implementation" (if thats what you want to call it), I have witnessed firsthand as the company's management has carelessly steered this project into the ground. They have done so with extremely over-the-top and unrealistic timelines, causing project resources to cram half-baked development/configuration into Productive environments and thus forming a whirlwind of chaos. Throughout this time, Haworth has also refused to pay for qualified SAP professionals, therefore leaving many ill experienced IT resources to struggle in stopping the bleeding and fallout from the entire mess. One of the most infuriating of the issues, is that Haworth has shelled hundreds of thousands of dollars on purchasing SAP software, hardware, and consultant hours for certain add-on SAP applications, and will then throw them out on a whim months later..... wasted money that could have been better spent in hiring qualified resources to do the job right the frst time. Zero Leadership/Project Vision/Scope PLUS Unrealistic Deadlines PLUS Underqualified Resources PLUS Wreckless Spending EQUALS = COMPLETE CHAOSS!!!!! Do yourself a favor SAP'iens - look elsewhere for an SAP job. Did I mention they pay peanuts for SAP Salaries too! I am talking 40-50% of what you can expect to make at a similar company for the same position in the same area (West MI)!

Pros

Great digital tools and futuristic approach with their products and solutions. Good competency in the market Commisons and the bonus Work place

Cons

# No value for the people, If you want to be valued and heared you need be with them for more than 5 years #Even if you achieve like claiming an Everest those insecured leaders won't encourage or applaud #Favourism is rooted in depth #Entire culture is driven by fear within all the functions #Basically the senior management don't trust the team this eventually increased the micromanagement month on month #People do call by names and think it's a flat culture but it's an controlled hierarchy based culture #Leaders do comparison between each other to divide and rule this eventually isolate the team members and break the relationship bonding within each other
