      Unstable Culture

      Pros

      Great product with an emphasis on manufacturing; president that loves investing in new technology. A president who leads and inspires. Silver lining is the remaining few good people. But unfortunately even those loyal, dedicated veteran empoyees are leaving and those remaining are actively seeking other employment.

      Cons

      New initiatives being rolled out daily, in a desperate attempt to change the quickly erroding culture. Life-work balance not recognized or respected. Top-tier managment has changed over the last year-and-a-half to self-seeking micromanagers. As a result of the mass exodus, it has left most departments grossly understaffed. Top-tier management has managed to break what wasn't broken.

      Pros

      Friendly People, I personally like the country setting of the headquarters in Waukesha. The new expansion as well as plans for further expansion is impressive.

      Cons

      Like all companies that were private and then went public there are growing pains. The rapid rate of expansion can be hard to keep up with at times, but is well worth the effort.

      Pros

      Team environments are very strong and their is plenty of work to stay busy. Working on projects exposes you to many different engineering aspects like FEA, material analysis, BOMs, project management, manufacturing, and testing. It's great to have your designs go into production which is very fulfilling. The culture has certainly changed drastically for the better over the past year. I believe that the outlook for the company is very strong as we all grow.

      Cons

      VP Management is used to not challenging the views of a CEO; they seem to flip sides and people tend to get thrown "under the bus".
