Pluspunten

Competitive pay, potential for growth opportunities,

Minpunten

Company leaders emphasize the importance of retaining employees, however they only will retain you if you abide by their micromanagement. Your individual culture work experience depends upon what division and site you are at. No training for manager positions when onboarded but expected to know everything. Growth and development opportunities always mentioned but you have to wait 2 full years and have approval from direct manager before being able to even apply and need their permission. Toxic culture and leadership. Company has 0 work life balance and expects you to work 24/7 because that’s just the way the company has always been. Be ready to work on your PTO days. You might have a “seat at the table” but that doesn’t mean you have a voice at it sadly. Not a good fit for anybody under the age of 30.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
