Cons

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Some good people, the work is occasionally interesting
Cons
Very heavy culture, with a lot of overhead. Hypocrisy, manipulations, lie and ignorance from management became a new norm. There was 0 investment in training for years. Usual salary gap from the average market is 25k. Due to all of it people leaving as soon as they can, they haven't been replaced and more pressure comes to those who decided to stay. It is completely normal there to do three people's job without any pay rise for years or even a "thank you" from management. On top of it all, everything is very much outdated. Technologie outdated at least for 15-20 years, and no investment to the equipment and software even in plan. There are no opportunities for the employee to advance themselves, the workload is unbearable and no one cares about improving skills, because people with good skills leave even faster. The place might be suitable for close to retirement people who completely burned out in their occupation and simply don't care any more, but this attitude makes very bad influences on those who just started their career, especially if this job is the first one. This atmosphere is not suitable for young engineers, especially females. I can talk endlessly about the number of sexist's jokes and comments I have heard for the relatively short period of being working there.

Business is making money but we are without a pay review (9th year), Nepotism is at its best in NZ, Australia and US ; Jobs for mates of CEO, depressing place to work - politics at high level, Warning to new employees- be prepared to work with 2012 salaries!

Pros
Some wonderful, professional and clever people work here ... sadly undervalued by the middle-top management
Cons
Staff are not appreciated, not valued, never thanked and considered "replaceable" Unless you work on a pet project, don't expect any recognition or reward.
