Seasoned professionals should stay away. There are more managers than engineers.
This company is very bureaucratic for its size. It is its own worst enemy. Innovation is at 15 year low. Owners have brought a new CEO to make this company more profitable. He has been on a cutting spree. Layoffs are in full swing and entire departments have evaporated. Morale is low. The so called senior leadership team (STL) are a clueless bunch of people. They do not know how to make this business grow. They have changed business strategy more than 6 times while I was there. The lack of accountability by the owners have embolden these people to run up the expenses. After years of spending millions, they have very little to show for which is of commercial value. These days, they are too scared to invest into the business due to increased scrutiny by the CEO.
After working here for a while, you realize that your career choices are limited. The bad apples hold you down. They don't want to work with you to improve the culture. Organization charts are frowned upon. These bad apples don’t want others to find out who does what in the organization. If you come up with new ideas and your team is on your side, the SLT won’t approve of any spend because of increased scrutiny by the CEO.
It's a vicious cycle and in the end without solid growth initiatives and new projects in the pipeline, good employees leave, and this company will stay stagnant.
