"Journey from Hero to Zero" - Senior R&D Engineer Flowserve Employee Review

Pros

I started my career as an Associate Engineer at Valve division (then FCEC). When it was valve division, things were good. Though site leadership was a burning issue, it never had impact on bottom level engineers. 1. Good place to accumulate product knowledge. 2. Wide variety of job portfolios

Cons

1. Lack of vision towards R&D path. 2. No career path for R&D engineers! Trust me, hardly 15-20 engineers out of 300 work on R&D. One has to wait for long ( and sometimes you have to please your manager) to get some projects! 3. HR wing is useless. HR is a secret agent for site leadership. HR carries all information from employees to site leadership to turn against employees. 4. Apathy towards employees. No single demand of employee has been fulfilled after formation of GTEC . 5. Linguistic and regional bias-ism is prominent

Pros

Stable employment and steady salaries. Employees are celebrating their 45th work anniversaries left and right. Do you job and you will always have a job. Restructuring happens, however rarely. The intellectual property owned by the plant ensures that Flowserve isn't going away for a long, long time.

Cons

Old school corporate culture. Resistance to WFH without a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ), in the name of "company culture." Unpredictable jerking between calling back to the office and WFH allowance. Sometimes WFH double standard intra-department without a solid justification.

Pros

Great culture and exciting goals.

Cons

Difficulty working in silos across facilities due to systems being different and not integrated into common system upon mergers.
