"I worked for the Herman Miller Nemschoff Company from 2009 thru 2014. I was recruited shortly after my schooling and continued to learn at a an enormous rate. I worked with people from all over the world, and with each experience helping me be a better Designer / Drafter."
"I was with Herman Miller for 8+ years. The company offers a number of employee focused benefits that were appreciated. The business culture is average of modern corporate America. A good place to work."
"Herman Miller is a great place to work for. Many of the people take great pride in the work they do and create exemplary work. Herman Miller believes in work-life balance and believes in their employees bringing their whole person to work."
"I have worked as an engineer for this company for years. This company has a good culture, and the people there are great to work with. I have personally found a good work-life balance, though times are stressful when launching products."
"Good room for growth in this business."
"Herman Miller has lost their way. They no longer focus on producing great furniture, but have become a lifestyle company focused on how things look and not how they function. This goes for their furniture and their facilities. Senior managers are more interested in getting coverage in design magazines than they are in turning out good product and good facilities. They are squeezing the employees to do more with limited resources and then they cut, cut, cut."
"RAMPANT HIGH TURN OVER and AGE DISCRIMINATION: Demoting and eliminating positions of experienced, talented, hard-working people is an everyday occurrence with Herman Miller. By age discriminating, they replace loyal employees with inexperienced and lower paid youth, and it allows them to absorb the lack of performance of the Golden Children's salaries. Golden Children are the enabled, self admiring, yet non-delivering favorites who maintain their positions based on favoritism (friendships, crushes, and man-crushes). Those who enable the Golden Children are blind to the fact that Golden Children simply align themselves to and ride the coat tails of the former, external mid-century designers... much like thinking a football fan is awesome simply because they're wearing a regurgitated jersey of an actual, talented player. I no longer purchase or spec product for jobs from this company due to its lack of integrity and ethics in employment practices."
"Disorganized, self admiring, marketing "leadership" is incapable of sticking with decisions and getting things done, resulting in the abuse of company resources. They hire young people to get away with extremely low pay and long hours... it's blatant age discrimination. They hire impulsively for random, temporary needs under the guise of long term employment and then easily discard people without a thought. "Man-crush" cliques and favoritism are rampant. Lack of depth, integrity and discipline overall."
"New products engineer. Started in RF design, then digital and various analog."
