Positive Reviews From Steelcase Employees
- What did you like most about the interview process?Was able to talk to a lot of people so I could get a sense of the people I'd be working with
- What did you like most about the interview process?It's kind of long but what I see it's because they're following legal rules, local labor law and so on so forth. Multiple of Interviewee in different phase, there's a test as well. It's kind of fair and natural for a bigger organization like Steelcase.
- What are some of the best things about your team?It depends on the team. Teams at the individual contributor level honestly do their best in a system of complexity and chaos. Teams going up the ladder politic and are worthless. Endless meetings about the same issues and if you actually look at what gets done, it's alarming.
Constructive Feedback From Steelcase Employees
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Making decisions, not hiring based on who you like, listening to employees
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?STOP discriminating against people with disabilities
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?The company's just not fair to older employees. They get these new employees and want to play on their phone all day that does absolutely nothing.

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Steelcase
Our Net-Zero Future
Steelcase is committed to a net-zero future. We were the first in our industry to set science-based targets and are on the path to achieving our near-term target of 50% emissions reductions in our operations by 2030. In 2020, we became the first in our industry to become operationally carbon neutral when we committed to annually finance verified carbon offset projects and purchase 100% renewable energy equivalent to our scope 1 and 2 emissions, respectively.
Now, we are advancing our commitments by targeting to eliminate over 90% of our carbon emissions across our value chain by 2050. We plan to make real and sustained emissions reductions in our products, operations and transportation as the core of our net-zero commitment. Working with our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders, we can make a difference at a greater global scale than any one of us alone. We plan to counterbalance any residual emissions at the end of our target period through solutions that remove carbon from the atmosphere and permanently store it.
Design for Circularity
For over 100 years, we have designed and built products of the highest quality and durability — built to last, maintaining the value of materials for as long as possible, and as a result we’re able to offer one of the strongest extended warranties in the industry. And when our furniture has outlived its usefulness, we connect customers with a network of end-of-use service providers to give it new life through reuse, repair or recycling.
We explore circular business models throughout the world to capture and redeploy the value of furniture after its first life. We have pilots underway to explore refurbishment solutions to help refresh your space while reducing your environmental impact. Steelcase furniture remade and returned to a like-new state can help your organization contribute to the circular economy, reduce waste from entering the landfill and lower carbon emissions.
Our Approach to Social Innovation
Our world faces many tough challenges today — from the climate crisis to racial inequalities to education accessibility. As a global organization, we have the responsibility and opportunity to lead the efforts that address these issues around the world. To truly make a transformational difference, we need to operate in new ways by establishing a more inclusive and innovative approach where a range of people, taking different actions, are all pointed in the same direction — a global community of changemakers making a local impact.
This led us to create our Better Futures Community, which brings together our clients, dealers, employees and community partners to expand upon our efforts around the globe. When we take collective action in our communities, we’re helping the world work better.
