Pluspunten

There are some good engineering and technical personnel. Also, there are some good sales, support, marketing and product management personnel.

Minpunten

There have been several ownership changes in last 15-20 years, and many mid- and senior-level management changes over the last 5-10 years. Executive management is mostly administrators that provide little real leadership. They tend to be secretive, non-transparent and non-communicative. The newly appointed CEO\COO is a bean-counter with no technical or industry experience. Likewise, an executive-level engineering position was recently filled by someone with no relevant technical experience or expertise, no industry experience with customers, and no experience with competitors or competitive products. This executive has become no more than a project supervisor. Executive management has promoted a number of inexperienced and unqualified personnel to management positions. In my time there were numerous smart, experienced, productive professionals that walked out the door because they simply could not tolerate the management. Their IT tools and processes are disparate and archaic, and IT management is underwhelming. Also, the company is located in an undesirable/unattractive region.
