Great work life balance, people are great, Holland office does a lot of events to bring employees together which is great. Managers are approachable and willing to work with you.

If you are high-speed and motivated, hard pass on this company
Current employee, more than 3 years
Grand Rapids, MI

Business outlook
Pros
- Some good pockets of people - People are Midwest nice - Common theme is that what you could get done elsewhere in six weeks takes 6-12 months at Dematic, so it's great place if you just want to punch the clock, endlessly kick the can down the road, and avoid delivering anything.
Cons
- Internal tools are terrible (laptops, network connectivity, various applications) - Too many insecure middle-age to near-retirement age people that prioritize "keeping job at all costs" instead of taking ownership, boldly taking responsibility, and helping to drive solutions. - Very immature processes & skills (a lot of people have spent their entire career with Dematic). - Relies on outside consultants and paid industry insights more than any company I've ever seen. - PTO is antiquated (New Years, MLK, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, usually a few days around Christmas depending on timing, floating holiday). You earn certain hours each month based on time with company and have a cap on how many hours you can accrue (earn ~8 hours / month with 100 hour cap for years 1-2; earn 10 hours / month with 120 hour cap for years 2-5; earn ~12 hours / month with 140 hour cap for years 5-10; earn ~13 hours / month with 160 hour cap for years 10+). Many employees don't start with a balance, so if you are a new employee, it will take you five months to earn a week off).

Good company but high stress
Current employee, more than 10 years
Grand Rapids, MI

Business outlook
Pros
Dematic is one of the best companies I have had the opportunity to work. The people I work with are great. I have had a steady track record of decent to great managers. Only one poor one, which I survived for two years. Coworkers are generally great; everyone seems to have similar goals.
Cons
The job is demanding, we work in a field that requires supporting customers that runs 24/7/365. Many don't fully understand the sacrifice that is needed to support customers on this schedule with limited resources.

Great pay and autonomy, but high office politics

Business outlook
Pros
Great pay, Good autonomy. Exciting technology. Lots of opportunity to improve and license to make changes, the Grand Rapids office has many great people who built Rapistan who are the best part of working there.
Cons
Ruled by the quarterly results, little transparency in outcomes, little care for individuals, many instances of people being fired or promoted unfairly, lots of politics, constantly trying to look better than they are, No real values to speak of. Pray you have a good manager, they are unlikely to be held accountable
