Pluspunten

Large well known company. Depending on the department you are in there are opportunities to grow and learn a lot.

Minpunten

Everything sounds good but they don't practice what they preach. Processes are put in place but are only followed by certain people, others are not held accountable. Depending on the department, skills and talent are not taken into consideration for new opportunities, they like to fill quotas and there are a lot of management clicks. I've seen a lot of good people leave recently because of poor management. If you are not in management it is difficult to advance in the company. Talented people are held back because their managers don't want them to leave their team. They restructure each year and if you are not promoted during the restructure you will get a new manager who will tell you your past efforts don't matter, you need to "prove your worth" again to them. It is a viscous cycle.

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.
