Get experience and then move on to bigger & better companies - Anonymous employee Gerdau Employee Review

Expected to work A LOT of hours - no work / life balance. If you're not Brazilian or speak Portuguese, you can only go so far up the chain. Be ready to do everything "the Brazilian way", because apparently they do everything right. Dirty, hot, dangerous environment. Company is constantly changing things, make sure you're drinking the Koolaid or you'll be looked at as a "sour apple".
