Pros

Many good people willing to help. Long term vision is encouraging. Willing to make needed changes to improve culture.

Cons

VP level top heavy. Many new top level VP that are hired in, not promoted. Not enough experience at higher level to make a timely decision that actually sticks. Lots of back and forth with no accountability or willingness to make a call and deal with it. The fear of being wrong halts and slows progress on projects. Technology for Engineering is weak. Sub-par equipment and low investment in employee tools and facilities. General process are very weak. Lots of process that are not followed or even known about. What is present is very weak. There is a fear of process creep that could slow agility down, but making mistakes is also very expensive in rework and waste. Needs to be a compromise. Health Care benefit is weak if you live outside of Waukesha. Only par if you live in or near Waukesha.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
