Pluspunten

somewhat nice office spaces. ME team is very nice - good people. Plenty of sustaining engineering projects (if that's what you're after) & plenty of CAPA work.

Minpunten

Severe lack of leadership. Although ME team is great/talented, company has not figured out how to place an ME manager of proper qualifications and mindset. There is also lack of mentorship, due to lack of truly experienced MEs in the team. and those that have significant experience are swamped with work (or don't care to mentor). Also, company is starting to outsource new product dev to consultants or abroad. That why this is not a good place to work at if you are looking for new product development and design work.

Pluspunten

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Minpunten

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
