Pros

Friendly work environment with helpful and encouraging people. Strong sense of family amongst the sales team. The company produces excellent products. Benefits are fantastic. Fun social gatherings that really help to bring everyone together as a team.

Cons

Employees are encouraged to share their complaints and are then shunned for it when they do. Negative feedback is seen as the employee not being a "team player". Very far behind in technology and slow to adapt to the times. The IT department is extremely painful to deal with due to controling and manipulative management. Takes forever to get anything from them and even their staff seem disgruntled with management. No room for advancement in most departments.

Pros

The company strongly promotes a sense of internal loyalty through its "Orange Blood" culture, presenting itself as a tight-knit family. While this can create a feeling of community for those who align closely with leadership expectations, it may feel less welcoming to individuals who value independent thinking or outside perspectives.

Cons

For some, the cultural intensity can verge on insularity, with a few observers informally comparing it to a "true believer" environment. Company events and traditions are frequent and lively, but may feel performative rather than inclusive to those who have not spent their entire careers with the company. Within the company there is a clear ambition to align with modern tech industry standards. But the company's foundations in industrial manufacturing continue to strongly influence its culture and operations. This heritage provides stability, but also limits the speed and flexibility associated with true technology-driven organizations. Overall, while the workplace appears friendly and committed on the surface, prospective employees should take time to evaluate whether the culture’s strong internal focus and industrial paced product development supports their long-term career growth.
