Pros

SAFETY. Bonuses, profit sharing, hybrid work arrangement (some teammates are full-remote). Leadership is widely approachable and open with their communication. Very large and dispersed company. North America's largest steel producer. I'd trust Leon to watch my kids.

Cons

Full remote work for special people/situations only, hybrid work schedule can be dictated/removed all together depending on division, department, manager etc. Leadership is usually tenured and thus can be old school in their approach to working in office (or in general) which leads to micromanaging situations. Pay is kind of poor in this current economy, promotions feel purposely slow and the process tends to be ridiculous (brain games and interviews galore for current teammates looking to transfer or promote)

Pros

-Unique compensation structure that includes profit sharing and bonuses (both driven by company performance) -Exposure to a large, decentralized organization -Opportunities for long-term growth exist for employees who align with (or conform to) the culture

Cons

-Base salary lower than market, however potential for total compensation to exceed market depending on company performance (through profit sharing and ROA bonus) -Significant gap between stated values (safety, collaboration, teamwork, family-first) and day-to-day experience -Culture can feel rigid and conformity-driven, with limited openness to new ideas or different perspectives -Extremely limited work-life balance with rigid schedules and minimal flexibility (including work from home options) -PTO is very limited, especially in the first year (0-5 days depending on start date) -Hiring process is lengthy and highly intensive, including psychological assessments that can feel invasive with limited transparency on how results are used and stored -Leadership can feel traditional and insular, with limited diversity of thought and resistance to change -Inconsistent culture and policy enforcement across teams and divisions due to decentralized structure -Limited onboarding, unstructured training, and poor clarity around expectations in some roles -Benefits are more limited than originally presented (single health plan option, very restrictive prescription coverage) -Communication and transparency is lacking, making it difficult to understand priorities and decision-making
