Hypertherm Employee Review

Former Employee – worked at Hypertherm

Pros – Decent salary.
Decent management attitude toward work/life balance.
Nice area.

Cons – Departments/sections are segregated in attitude and cooperation. Non-departmental managers try to dictate to associates in other departments.
Work proceeds in silos, and attempts to get necessary information can be seen as intrusive.
Quite a bit of "territorialness" in managers, as in most US corporations, unfortunately.
Engineers haughty toward non-engineers doing technical work.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop concentrating on community happiness, and work toward improving associate happiness. Make promotion opportunities more transparent, in terms of not having to be politically connected to someone, or in general a suck-up.
