Pros

Our Data Center and IoT markets are going up, and we have some technology to ride the wave.

Cons

Weak leadership. We have an opportunity to grow (and talent that wants to lead the market) and break out of being average, but CEO allows weak leadership that resists change with business units and operations. CEO talks about a great culture but shows no follow through with the behavior of many members of his team.

Pros

- Facilities are well maintained, and the environment is generally clean and organized. - A bonus structure exists for hourly and salaried staff. - Many managers and technical leads are approachable and willing to help. - Starting pay can be competitive depending on the role. - Plenty of employee parking. - Training programs are structured and help new hires ramp up efficiently.

Cons

- Compensation does not keep pace with cost of living, and raises feel reactive rather than intentional. - Bonus structures lack consistency. - The culture in some areas has shifted toward heavy oversight and micromanagement. What was once more results focused now feels compliance driven, with increasing restrictions that have hurt morale. - Benefits are expensive relative to coverage quality. Healthcare premiums significantly reduce take home pay - Conflict resolution often appears risk averse and liability focused rather than employee focused - The company doesn't seem to care about employee assets. - Internal priorities and project expectations are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and frustration. - The rollout of unlimited PTO has created more confusion than flexibility.
