Pros

People I worked with were hard working, loyal and smart.

Cons

Decisions at the executive level are made only on short-term goals. There's no insight into long term products. The consistently would promise we'd be given resources to develop a product that might be market-competitive, and then before actually investing, they'd change directions. Leadership said they wanted to be involved in software (SaaS) but really had no clue how to do so. They also thought very highly of their labeling division and their software as being extremely complex when it was pretty simple, low-risk. On one of his first vistis to our building, the CEO at the time said he wanted to invest in us that he didn't believe we could "save our way to success"; yet that's exactly what we were asked to do every day. If someone left the company the rest of us were required to take on added responsibilities - then it would take 6-12 months for us to prove we needed to hire someone.

Pros

Modern development practices and great engineers. Stuff is fairly interesting to work on too.

Cons

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.

In addition to a strong focus on technology, innovation and new product development, Brady has robust programs around employee development which include global training programs, strong performance management system and corporate and site new hire orientation programs. The onboarding process has established requirements at the corporate, site and manager level to ensure employees are integrated effectively and transition appropriately to their new roles. As noted, we have a strong bonus structure but also a competitive, comprehensive compensation package that includes salary, benefits, and bonus opportunity.
