Pros

Great product. Good engineering team.

Cons

Top management doesn’t believe in quality, just ship it out and move production to lower quality Mexico. They talk about people centered, they act as just ship the $ and don’t really care about the employees.

Pros

Expecting huge growth in the next five years. CEO and CHRO constantly talk about the massive hiring spree they are about to go on to fill orders already in the pipeline (although I am doubtful that will happen anytime soon because budgets keep getting cut and I have heard of multiple layoffs recently). If that growth does happen though, the career opportunities will be enormous. That career growth potential is the light in the midst of this increasingly difficult environment.

Cons

I have never been a part of a more toxic and dysfunctional HR organization. The HR Executive leadership team talks out of both sides of their mouth regarding wanting to make it a collaborative and centrally focused organization, yet the departments don’t talk to each other, and actually work against each other as if its a giant competition. They act as if they are still an organization of 1,000 employees, yet they are now 10,000 employees. And many pockets of the organization refuse to change into updated, scalable, and more efficient ways of working.
