      Great Engineers, Poor Management

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great training opportunities, good medical products for patients. (Minnesota) Nice people. Engineers are talented and doing a great job. Relaxing atmosphere - you are now allow to wear blue jeans to work! Flexible day schedule for some.

      Cons

      Poor management at Manager I level. Too much politics, and work could be boring. Innovations are hardly supported. Problematic opportunities for growth. Hard to find related information due to terrible search (non-existent). "Celebrate" part is struggling - may be because of recent slowdown in the economy.

      Great company, but for how much longer?

      Senior r&d engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great, dedicated, hard-working employees. Most that I've worked with are talented people doing there best to put out great work. The managers I've been under have been caring compassionate supervisors that looked out for the interests of their direct reports.

      Cons

      R&D and innovation are suffering. There's no appetite for riskier technologies or products. Sustaining engineering, six sigma and lean manufacturing are taking the place of innovation, creativity and discovery. Bureaucracy is becoming a huge problem. Automation of common tasks is forcing a one-size-fits-all environment that suits almost no one and makes it frustratingly hard to get tasks completed. The culture promotes too many pointless/innefficient meetings. There isn't a long term vision outlined that employees have a clear way to support, people are left wondering "how do I fit in" and "where are we going"?
