This is a bad place for advancement. If you have ever worked at a retail store, then you may understand how supervisors operate at steel case. Being promoted at steel case is dependent on who you know, not the content of your work.

- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Benefits are solid. Work / home balance is respected: majority of people come in 8-9, leave at 4. Feel like they do a lot for the local community and contribute to non-profits as well and it makes me proud to work here. Of course there's the benefit of having access to great furniture at lower prices. WFH office setup was nice even before COVID. The Applications Engineer job title is a very broad one at Steelcase. If you work in IT and are good with computers, you'll probably get assigned this title unless there's an extremely defined position (like security). I know teams with Applications Engineers that don't know how to code and have this role. Everybody at Steelcase is friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there's plenty of on-site places to work that fits the feel you're looking for.
Cons
In short: Things take forever at Steelcase (like most large companies) Decisions can take weeks or months for a somewhat simple change or addition that has a low impact. If a tweak to your project has an impact beyond just your team, expect it to take a while. If you think small decisions take a while, "medium" sized decisions can take the better part of a year, if not years to agree on. This is just agreeing that something can be change, not the actual project itself. Large decisions happen much faster than smaller decisions, mainly because the higherups are the ones who make them, and they have the power to decide so. I don't blame Steelcase 100% for slow decision making. I think most large companies suffer from this, but I think Steelcase would still rank pretty slow in it's ability to "react". Another major con is that Steelcase has a problem of not cleaning up legacy systems. Tech debt keeps increasing since every new separate system needs to be kept alive, and very little time is spent fixing/removing old things that sap everyone's time and cause poor employee & customer experiences. It's bandaid on top of bandaid.
