      Pros

      The company is full of technical experts and has a ton of resources available for engineering. Lots of opportunities in different locations depending on what field you're interested in. Flow Controls in Marshalltown has a bunch of talent and top-notch resources to leverage if you can wait patiently to use them. Great combination of manufacturing, engineering, project management, quality, etc. Good opportunities to move up and around especially if you are willing to play the political game.

      Cons

      Projects move very slowly. Lots of siloing of technical knowledge within teams. Culture has become heavily "corporatized" over the last several years. No bonuses. Pay is average at best.

      Pros

      Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

      Cons

      (1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
