ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Filtering success


Minnesota-based Donaldson makes products you probably won’t see, in order to ensure that you definitely don’t see dirt, dust and anything else you’d like to keep out of your products.  The firm is a leading manufacturer of filtration systems and replacement parts, serving clients in industrial and engine markets with dust collection, power generation, industrial compressors, compressed air purification and specialty filtration.  Its filters appear in everything from heavy machinery and industrial plants to disk drives and MP3 players.  The company has two business units: industrial products, which counted fiscal 2008 sales of $1 billion, and engine products, good for almost $1.2 billion in sales.  All told, Donaldson attained record revenue of more than $2.2 billion in 2008, the 19th consecutive year of record earnings.  The company employs some 12,000 people worldwide.  Donaldson’s most prominent brands include Donaldson Endurance diesel engine filtration; Dura-Life filter bags; PowerCore filtration for off-road equipment, trucks, cars and gas turbine equipment; Synteq high-efficiency liquid filtration; and its Ultra-Web nanofiber technology, used in cell cultures, filter cartridges and diesel engine air filters.

SURVEY SAYS


Conservatively yours

Some employees regard Donaldson as a “very conservative” company; thus, “people are expected to work the core hours” with “little working from home,” says one source.  Another respondent agrees with a “corporate culture = old, slow moving industrial company.”  This may even reflect in its IT culture, which may lead some IT employees to have the impression that it has “poor working conditions” at the department, with “lots of contractors,” therefore just “the worst IT management I’ve ever encountered in my career.”

Tips from the inside

Donaldson’s filtering process

Donaldson’s careers site  has lots of information about the company, including background, internship and development programs, benefits, and even directions on how to find company headquarters in Bloomington, Minn. (the Minneapolis suburb that’s home to the Mall of America).  The most crucial aspect of any careers site, however, is its job listings, and Donaldson has these in abundance, providing a full list viewable as a whole or filtered by job family, location and keyword.
