Pros

I enjoyed most of the people I worked with. My supervisor was great and so were many of the higher ups I encountered. When a product I used to complete my job was causing problems instead of helping me do my job efficiently, I wrote a note to the engineering team and from that I was able to get a much better part that made my ability to do my job much more efficient.

Cons

The majority of companies I worked for have had a grace period. There is no grace period. You would get a 1/4 of a point for being less than 30 seconds late. Take that as you will, but in my opinion and experience, that is a rather steep consequence for such a small infraction. There was also a point in time where there were large orders going out, which meant that we had to work overtime, which wasn't the issue. The area where I worked made components for a different location and we had to work mandatory overtime. My area had to work mandatory overtime with no possibility of leaving early, but the area we made parts for did not. And the people in charge would not change their minds even though they gave no valid reason for requiring us to work 50 hour weeks.

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.
