This company has managed to completely devalue its employees, and this is just the beginning

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Product and people to work with. Opportunities to interact with customers (although this seems to be in decline). Customers appreciate the product and this makes you feel proud to have worked on it.

Cons

Into third year of lay-offs (they call it a "business transformation"). Continued out-sourcing of business - technical and manufacturing. High level of mistrust in senior leadership created by poor leadership, and continues to get worse. People were once the key competitive advantage, not so anymore.

It's a tough job to maintain.

Casual

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay. Coworkers are great to work with. Building motorcycles. If you ride, it's a great feeling to help build someone's bike.

Cons

Hiring casuals while laying off permanent employees. This is a horrible practice. Then mandated to work more hours than permanent employees. Morale is low for all employees. Absolutely no benefits. Left out of training for processes.

Excellent at first, but no longer a "special" company to work for

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Close to the bikes Relaxed dress code, and comp time policy (in my dept) Some good managers Decent benefits - good vacation policy

Cons

Another round of layoffs, after a great 2nd quarter - Why??? Demotions, including pay decrease, to many employees who were excellent performers It seems employees are now interchangable, or worse, disposable Major decisions are not made with input from key stakeholders (those of us who must deal with the consequences) Benefits are dropping
