Brady reviews

Career growth opportunities are vague and don’t align with what you’ll hear in your interview. Promises will be made but then roadblocks will continually pop up. People are very burnt out at Brady, and it shows. There’s a huge culture of “that’s not my problem” and you can either go along with it or drive yourself nuts trying to fight it. A lot of the normal behaviors here (not answering emails for weeks, not showing up to meetings, not knowing basics of email) wouldn’t fly anywhere else. A lot of people left because of their COVID response. We weren’t allowed to work from home for a majority of the pandemic, despite many roles being able to do so and a majority of our sales team being 100% remote. At the time, they said it was because “we work better together” which 1. Seems like a rip off of the Olive Garden slogan and 2. Is pretty funny when you consider how silo’d the organization is. Tech illiteracy is a huge issue there. I think this was a main factor in the no work from home rule, because remote work would put a spotlight on how outdated Brady software systems and practices are.

High turnover, a manufacturing company so pennies are definitely pinched, sometimes deadlines are pushed a little too intensely for the work that's being done.
