Pluspunten

Getting a certain exposure to some multinational customers, on large projects was interesting, but it is clear, that they rely on a small customer base who account for the majority of revenue. When the loyalty of these cutomers receeds they will fail and end up in liquidation, with the Irish operation the first to be removed.

Minpunten

Actual quality of the final systems is atrocious, but expected when using suppliers from China and the systems are manufactured in Springfield MO, with workers who have no appreciation of hygienic sytems for Biologic drugs. Salary is awful. Travel policy is terrible. Force you to sign "per diem" expense letters, for foreign projects, so you can't claim your full entitlements if your allowance is exceeded. No cars offered on company travel locally or abroad. Working hours break the break, the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 in particlular section 15 & 17. Yearly Salaryies increase based on a rating system of months worked, approximately 2%, not the individuals performance. No increase in salaries when promoted to lead roles. Will lie in intial interviews to bring you on board. Middle and upper management, are absolutely terrible cowards, with no back bone. Work in fear with governance remotely from the US. All decisions are filtered through the US. Overtime rate is 4%. No flexitime. No days in lieu. No continual professionl development or training offered.

Pluspunten

There’s steady work and plenty of overtime if you want the hours. You’ll also learn fast, mostly because you’re constantly thrown into things well outside your job description.

Minpunten

Designers are routinely doing project engineer work without the title or the pay. The wages do not reflect the scope of what’s actually expected, especially given the Lehigh Valley market. Communication from management is inconsistent at best. Scope changes come down with no corresponding schedule adjustment, and pushing back on that gets you nowhere. We’re told to ask questions, then made to feel stupid for asking them. Recent guidance was to route questions through team leads instead of supervisors, but the team leads almost always send us right back to the supervisor anyway. Continuous improvement gets talked about constantly, but ideas get ignored, dismissed, or quietly absorbed without recognition. Meanwhile the team is working overtime on projects that were poorly scheduled from the start, which makes the CI ask feel disconnected from reality. The bigger issue underneath all of this is accountability. When something goes wrong, the reflex from management is to find someone below them to pin it on rather than own the call they made. That pattern is the most demoralizing part of working here.
