Pros

Cons

I don't have any complaints.

Each day at Watlow we are guided by our value of “Respect Everyone.” Watlow embraces diversity and
it is an integral part of who we are as a company, how we operate and how we see our future. As a global and multicultural organization, we work diligently to provide all our team members with equal access to information, resources, personal development, job growth, and opportunities. Our diverse work teams deliver high value to our customers with their rich and varied backgrounds, experiences, talents and ideas. In turn, that diversity of thought and creativity ensures diverse ways of looking at problems and helping each other every day. At Watlow, by respecting individual and cultural differences, we are creating a competitive edge that will ensure Watlow’s long-term health and allow our team members to be their best.

About Us

Watlow’s solutions help enrich everyday life. Our systems control the delivery of thermal energy wherever thermal is critical. The world’s leading companies use our technology in highly specialized applications such as front-end semiconductor processing, advanced environmental and clean energy systems and lifesaving medical and clinical equipment, to name a few. Our team members collaborate extensively to drive our business forward with innovation and world-class engineering expertise. We are a forward-focused company that empowers and rewards team members for their contributions to our mutual success.

History

We call it The Watlow Way: A people-centric strategy that defines the key principles, behaviors and values that guide our interaction with each other and our customers each day. More than a corporate mission statement, the Watlow Way serves as our ”True North,” which includes:

  • Adding value to our customers
  • Helping our team members and communities be their best
  • Ensuring the long-term health of the organization by the never-ending pursuit of perfection

Founded in 1922, Watlow has created a business culture that is anchored to our purpose of “Enriching Lives Through Inspired Innovation,” which challenges us to consistently provide high impact technology and solutions that improve our customers’ competitive advantage.

Impact

Every day people experience products and services made possible through Watlow. Our industrial technology is used by leading companies in semiconductor processing to manufacture integrated circuits used in cell phones, computers and consumer electronics. Our larger scale heat exchangers can be found in systems used to deliver the energy and fuel required to heat your homes or power your vehicles and our safe and reliable thermal management systems enable lifesaving products such as kidney dialysis and blood analysis equipment. We have recently extended our ongoing commitment to the medical research and clinical community supporting our customers on the front lines developing testing and treatment for COVID-19.

Culture

Investing in team member growth and development is one of the ways we strive to continually demonstrate how working at Watlow is different. The bedrock of our corporate culture is built upon our four core values, which include:

  • Doing what is right
  • Always learning and improving
  • Respecting everyone
  • Leading with service and humility

Team members who chose to embrace these values and join us will enjoy a high performing, collaborative environment where they can build a rewarding career path. We invest in personal growth and development through our coaching forward philosophy that equips all team members to contribute with autonomy, mastery and purpose. We are dedicated to developing the talent of our team members in a culture that was founded on innovation and product leadership. 

At Watlow our culture can be described as “constructive,” which means that our team members are high achieving, high self-actualizing, high humanistic and encouraging and highly affiliative.  A welcoming environment where team members “Want to” versus “Have to.”  Where they know what they do matters, and they feel valued for the gifts they share with others.  Where they solve challenging problems working on collaborative teams, big and small, composed of the brightest and most innovative people, which truly makes our team members our most important asset. We all succeed together, which is why we focus our efforts on building a highly constructive culture. We embrace diversity as an integral part of who we are, how we operate and how we see our future.

Watlow is an equal opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.

  • Competitive pay
  • Profit-sharing
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • 401(k) plan that includes a company match on your contribution and an annual company contribution that is tied to company performance
