Dodgy dodgy dodgy - werkgeversreview Electronics and Firmware Engineer bij Feritech

A lot has changed in recent months. The management has changed and we get more recognition for our efforts. There is a good team if people and things look positive for the future.

There are still some things which are a bit disjointed but much of this is driven by the last minute changes from customers.

Being a small rapidly growing company is great. There are constantly new challenges, new products being developed and a good team. If you want somewhere where you can hide and not work hard it is not for you. As there are not many off us, everyone has to be flexible and help each other out. In turn if you put the work in you get the support and flexibility and support back to help with a balance of home and work. I was concerned about 2 things before I took a job here. One was some of the comments on Glassdoor. The other was the companies security and future. I have never experienced any behaviour similar to the negative reviews from a few years ago. It may be that some key people in the company have changed before I joined. Feritech was purchased by Addtech last year. They are a large Swedish company with a good bank balance. This has secured the companies future and they came to present to all the staff last month where they explained that they will support us but leave us to grow and evolved without interference.

On my first day reading the employee hand book was scary. It needs rewriting as it is worded in a very old fashioned inflexible way which does not reflect the company as it is now. If you are not able to switch through a number of tasks at short notice as priorities change this is not the place for you. Although this is a 10 year old company sometimes it still feels quite new as we are still developing a lot of processes to improve the way that we function.
