Pros

Technicians are supportive. Generally pleasant employees.

Cons

Empty promises and illusions of growth from management. Contractor conversions can take years. Poor escalation structuring. Systems Engineering seems understaffed and/or under supported. Employees are misguided due to lack of direction and horrible communication. A lot of tribal knowledge that rarely makes it to other ATE’s. High turnover rate for ATE’s since you are either outsourced, cross trained on a new product last minute or burnt out.

Pros

The strongest part of the company was the long-tenured employees and team members who were there prior to the leadership changes. They were knowledgeable, supportive, hardworking, and helped create a collaborative and positive culture despite the challenges brought by new management.

Cons

Finance leadership was one of the biggest issues at this company. The VP of Finance was overly micromanaging, and the CFO set unrealistic expectations while communicating in a condescending and arrogant manner. Employees with years of experience were routinely made to feel incompetent and undervalued, which created a toxic and demoralizing work environment.
