Just a place to work - no real rewards or opportunities

Pros

A good job in the middle of NH. Corporate parent provides some of the best benefits (healthcare) anywhere.

Cons

The purpose of this place, as dictated by the owning company Halma, is to produce profits. Fair enough. President and VPs get bonuses based on meeting monthly/quarterly/yearly sales goals. This has created a culture where management solely focuses on getting those bonuses. Period. So the ONLY thing that matters is pushing products out the door. Even when incomplete or defective. So there's no innovation, no sense of team, no real future. You either dig the coal (no bonuses, no chance of ever getting one), or you sell your soul and step on others to climb the ladder (in hope of getting to bonus level), or you abandon any sense of moral decency to defend your turf to maintain your bonus position. The only way to win is to not play.

Pros

Company does worthwhile work and employees can feel good about what they produce. Develops hardware and software solutions for a wide range of industries from LED lighting to consumer camera calibration to biomed to defense&security to environmental monitoring to aerospace. Great company for professional growth; promotes from within and mentors employees for future assignments. Friendly team of coworkers throughout all disciplines. Hardworking, cooperative, and helpful. All employees have access to learn about and pursue other jobs in other depts, cross-discipline training provided, tuition reimbursement, plenty of opportunities for professional growth. As part of a larger company, Halma, employees have access to colleagues and jobs at 45 other companies worldwide.

Cons

One deep in some positions so bottlenecks can occur when not fully staffed, adding pressure to some already hectic schedules.

Pros

The best part of my experience was the people I worked with. I gained a lot of valuable technical experience by working on a variety of projects and collaborating with different teams. The flexible work schedule, employee events, breakfast gatherings, and ability to make the workspace feel personal helped create a positive culture. Working across departments also pushed me to become a stronger communicator and a more well-rounded engineer.

Cons

There wasn't much room for career growth, and there wasn't a clear promotion structure or engineering levels to work toward. Training was hit or miss, so a lot of learning happened through trial and error. I would have liked more regular feedback from management and clearer expectations about my performance and career development. I also think offering a more flexible WFH policy, improving efforts around diversity and inclusion, and focusing on retaining younger employees would go a long way. Compensation also didn't seem to match the responsibilities of the role, especially as those responsibilities grew over time.
