Pros
JVT has lot of money to invest on the company and product (not on people). Management is willing to drive projects fast and dont worry about cost (but not spending it on the right place). Lot of enthusiastic new hires (especially managers) willing to drive for success (their management style may not work for everyone).
Cons
- Lot of politics and fight for power - Poor wages, especially in Irvine - They dont care about your career development - No clear leadership, especially in Leeds - Lot of negativity and bullying - Higher up mangers take decisions in both sites and tend to ignore the lower scale staff (who may have good ideas and experience) - Employee turn over rate is shocking especially in Irvine - HR is for management only. No confidentiality. - No employee benifits - No flexibility on working and poor response to emergencies. - CEO needs to know the competition that is going on in the management teams - All they want now is sell up, everyone in US is waiting for that day. Not many left here.
