Pros

The company is growing and expanding rapidly. Possible career growth possibility if company financial growth goals are meet. Higher than average monitary incentives.

Cons

Lack of clear operating and financial guidance set by executive management. Company is being sold to customers as a class leading IT structure. In actuality, IT is years behind the competitIon. Operating system is slow to work with, including many manual work arounds. Lack of work and personal life. Most of which could be corrected with better IT and/or better management. Too many high level managers/executives hired from other companies, lack of desk level employees to complete work load. Management lacks direct involvement. Manages from 50,000 feet, rather than getting their hands dirty. No real company structure. Every facilty operates in a different manner.

Pros

- remote - great quarterly incentive - modern tech stack

Cons

The biggest downside of working at Crane is the top down culture of micro management. This includes daily checklists for jira updates, tracking software that tracks things such as who you talk to most on Teams, code reviews that focus more on formatting and white spaces rather than logic and delivering value, and the list goes on. Crane was not like this when I first joined and the IT department grew substantially, but I think chalking it up to scaling is more of an excuse than true root cause. Additionally, communication from leadership is awful and paired with the micromanagement leads to low morale across the engineering team.
