Pros

Lots of rewarding work and good work life balance under the right manager(s) and in the right group. Ethically-minded. Competitive pay. Many extra benefits for healthy living. Stock price is way up. Some experienced co-workers saying this is the least screwed up big company they've worked for.

Kontras

The company can't stay out of its own way at times. As the company grows, constant normalization of processes/tools to corporate standards after productive years using other processes/tools, no support, switchover left to the groups to figure out, hindering group objectives. IT dept is overbearing, processes move slowly, equipment selection is poor. Multi year projects are annually exposed to the whims of higher level managers for funding, risking years of development. Slightly lacking in employee recognition, and seem to reward for odd achievements, not the important ones. Current regime of executive management loves acquisitions, mergers and spinoffs lately so beware of the risks these bring.

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Kontras

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
