Pros

I learned a lot just by being thrown into the deep end.

Cons

Working at this company keeps you on edge all the time. People disappear without notice, so you never really relax. HR and leadership talk down to staff and then wonder why no one feels motivated. Pay stays the same while bills go up, which just adds to the anxiety. Moving up feels like a fantasy since almost no one actually does. When projects fall apart, leadership panics and someone else takes the hit. The worst part is how unethical things get around visas, with lies and pressure that mess with your mental health.

Pros

• Work is meaningful — the solutions we deliver make a real difference in industrial and field applications. • Strong, reliable team with people who know their craft and are willing to step in and help when needed. • Good mix of field work and technical challenges that keeps things practical and engaging. • Leadership supports problem-solving and respects people who take accountability and get the job done. • The interview process clearly laid out the company’s direction and was a major factor in my decision to join.

Cons

It’s fast-paced, but if you’re hands-on and like tackling real problems, it works in your favor.

The people was great when I started. Benefits were decent.

Cons

Executives and CEO have no idea what is going on, they only care about themself leaving the people on the side. Lay-offs every quarter
