Pros

Many highly intelligent Engineers with great ideas. Good products and long history.

Cons

This company is so far behind in hiring/promoting minorities, but they are trying to catch up. That's good if you're a minority, not so good for a white middle aged male. The steel side of the business has terribly outdated accounting/management software, because they are too afraid a conversion would cause down time. The average employee is a 50+ white male who plans to retire in the next 5 years. There is going to be a lot of lost knowledge here, but anyone with their foot in the door may get some fast promotions.

Pros

Some of the reasons why I joined Timken were the job responsibilities, salary, benefits, professional management, and vertical advancement opportunities.

Cons

Some people find the area to be too slow paced and middle aged. The company faces constant direction from corporate.
