Pros

New CEO is more progressive and seems to be going in right direction. Nice work environment and most non-management staff are nice.

Cons

Too much hassle trying to do any work between departments. Everyone is “too busy” but never does anything. Manufacturing work to different rules and standards to test of business and a culture of “us and them” is still present. New starter salary is higher than more experienced employees creating tensions and ill-feeling within teams. Management don’t want to fix this.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
