Pros

The founder of the company projects a very progressive image that the rest of the company lags in.

Cons

Hamilton facility has developed a negative rap, mainly because of the leadership there having a bullying or narcissistic reputation with lots of micromanaging. A major problem is that as a "job shop", projects come and go and there is cyclical "boom and bust", so when things are slow everyone is working 8 hours, 9 to 10 when busy, and to make ends meet the new people get canned whenever there is a downturn. It doesn't matter how good you are or your dedication because when things are slow, the company contracts back to the same old people who were there for a decade. It isn't worth your time - don't depend on this place as a career. Poor work/ life balance too.

Pros

Janicki is a large company and expanding quickly, but still has the feel of a family owned company. There is a great work to life balance and they focus a lot of the core values. Although its a 24-7 operation, communication from the floor to uppers is always open. Everyone is genuinely willing to help and are happy to train. I have worked here over a year and don't regret the move. Its a fantastic company to work for.

Cons

Its a faced paced environment that requires you to think on your feet at all times. Its not a plug and play world. So if you can't function in that type of work environment, you won't succeed.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Company is growing like crazy. If you are able to stay away from the corporate politics and gossip, you will thrive. Management honestly wants employees to have a good work/life balance.

Cons

Company is growing like crazy and there are changes coming to the org chart. Lots of different tech solutions being used and support for all of them can be a challenge. No pay boost for obtaining government clearance unless job is 'engineer'.
