Minpunten

Company Culture: The work environment felt toxic, with excessive micromanagement and a lack of trust in employees. Workload & Meetings: There is significant work pressure, and a large portion of time is spent in meetings, leaving little room for focused work. Growth & Opportunities: There are no onsite opportunities, and the management lacks a clear vision for future growth or project direction. Appraisals & Compensation: Appraisals are average, and there is no bonus structure in place. Management Style: Managers are highly task-oriented and show little concern for employee well-being. Work-Life Balance: Poor work-life balance, with frequent expectations to stretch beyond regular hours. Treatment of Senior Employees: Experienced and higher-paid employees are often seen as liabilities and may face subtle pressure to leave. Technology Stack: The company relies on outdated technologies, which limits learning and growth. Final Thoughts: Consider this company only if you have no better options. It may not be ideal for long-term career growth or a healthy work environment.

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.
