Thank you for the 5.0 rating and for calling Heraeus a “great company to work for.” We believe great companies are built by great people doing great work. As a Regional Sales Manager, your commitment in the market, with customers, and within the team makes a real difference. Thank you for representing our best-in-class products and our culture with such dedication. We also appreciate your note on market pressure. Staying competitive while protecting value and quality is part of the challenge, and it takes strong sales leadership to navigate that successfully. Thank you for your energy, ownership, and engagement. That’s what turns a good company into a great one. Best regards, Your Heraeus HR Team

Pros

Solid company, with a long history and stable portfolio of products and services. This company has been around almost 400 yrs in total and can probably last another 400.

Cons

Extremely Germany-centric. The company is based in Germany, but they make sure you feel it. All the subsidiaries in North America and Asia are treated as lesser-than. They get no support, no training, and no inclusion. Germany and the German sites are the only ones that matter, and everything exists as a kind of scaffold for the Germans.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your many years of contribution as Quality Manager in Chandler. We appreciate your recognition of Heraeus as a stable company with a long history and a strong portfolio. That continuity remains an important part of who we are. Today, the Heraeus Group is a broadly diversified and globally leading technology and family-owned company with more than 17,000 employees worldwide. At the same time, we take your concerns regarding perceived Germany-centric decision-making seriously. While Heraeus is headquartered in Germany, we operate globally and depend on the expertise, perspectives, and leadership of our teams across all regions. Our aim is to foster a culture built on respect, visibility, knowledge-sharing, and mutual support — where opportunities, development, and collaboration are not defined by geography. If there is a gap between that intention and individual experience, that is important feedback for us. Thank you again for your commitment during your time with Heraeus. We wish you continued success in your professional journey. Best Regards, Your Heraeus HR Team
