Pros

- Competitive starting pay - Will offer promotion, raise and retention bonus to try and keep good people after they give their resignation notice

Cons

- Terrible leadership from Director level on up to the C-suite - Acquired too many companies too quickly and now trying to "catch up" systems, processes and right-size staffing - Layoffs and mandatory furloughs in Q1 to inflate stock price at expense of employees

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting products, lots of good people, good opportunity to learn many different engineering disciplines,, CEO easy to talk to, actually listens to feedback, empowers people, and has a good vision for the company.

Cons

Questionable strategic decision making at director and VP levels of the organization causing falling profit margins and wasted efforts for short term revnue gains. Myopic revenue focus decisions frequently hurt operating efficiency. Very odd promotion preference for industrial engineering majors and non-engineering backgrounds compared to mechanical engineering majors.
