Pluspunten

At the management level, the pay is very good - but careful what you wish for (see below). Work/Life balance is also good. Some nice people, but...

Minpunten

The company culture is terrible...the technology roots (and brains) of this company are seated in the Netherlands, and the workforce there is comprised of arrogant, lazy "employees" who spend most of their time backstabbing or paying lip-service to their American colleagues, or they're on vacation (I use the term "employees" in quotes because they all work for the Dutch Works Council (similar to an American union) and firing them is nearly impossible). The Dutch have ZERO respect for US employees, including and especially the CEO (Kania), and it shows in their apathy for the work and their 3 months a year vacation time. Time and again, I saw unqualified employees "promoted" into positions because they kissed a lot of you-know-what at the Sr. VP level, so, many long-tenured, knowledgeable employees would report to clueless idiots. Also, this company has a reputation of getting rid of people that make too much money. If you make six figures based on your experience, contribution to company success, the value that you bring - and you're NOT at the VP level - you're automatically a target, so watch out.

Pluspunten

The company mission of helping our customer make the world healthier, cleaner & safer. The 4I values of Integrity, Intensity, Involvement and Innovation. The company appears to be hiring people with 0 years experience, right out of college, at the same levels as employees with >10 years experience.

Minpunten

The culture of FEI has been diluted over the years. The highly matrixed organization is creating division and poor management culture lacks the directive for collaboration to effectively address customer challenges. The pay is well below the average for similar roles and there is lack of ability to be recognized and promoted based on merit. There is a lack of resources provided to enable quality and to meet customer commitments. Burnout and lack of compensation has lead to high turnaround.
