Pros

A good job in the middle of NH. Corporate parent provides some of the best benefits (healthcare) anywhere.

Cons

The purpose of this place, as dictated by the owning company Halma, is to produce profits. Fair enough. President and VPs get bonuses based on meeting monthly/quarterly/yearly sales goals. This has created a culture where management solely focuses on getting those bonuses. Period. So the ONLY thing that matters is pushing products out the door. Even when incomplete or defective. So there's no innovation, no sense of team, no real future. You either dig the coal (no bonuses, no chance of ever getting one), or you sell your soul and step on others to climb the ladder (in hope of getting to bonus level), or you abandon any sense of moral decency to defend your turf to maintain your bonus position. The only way to win is to not play.

Pros

I spent three years early in my career at Labsphere, and it was an incredible learning experience. The management team, particularly the production manager, was exceptionally patient and supportive. They provided me with all the tools and guidance I needed to grow and succeed. The mentorship I received was truly one of the most memorable and impactful moments of my professional journey.

Cons

I do not have any cons .

Pros

The best part of my experience was the people I worked with. I gained a lot of valuable technical experience by working on a variety of projects and collaborating with different teams. The flexible work schedule, employee events, breakfast gatherings, and ability to make the workspace feel personal helped create a positive culture. Working across departments also pushed me to become a stronger communicator and a more well-rounded engineer.

Cons

There wasn't much room for career growth, and there wasn't a clear promotion structure or engineering levels to work toward. Training was hit or miss, so a lot of learning happened through trial and error. I would have liked more regular feedback from management and clearer expectations about my performance and career development. I also think offering a more flexible WFH policy, improving efforts around diversity and inclusion, and focusing on retaining younger employees would go a long way. Compensation also didn't seem to match the responsibilities of the role, especially as those responsibilities grew over time.
