Bad CEO

Pros

Interesting work. Variety of products. Talented engineers.

Cons

Bad management. The CEO is the worst. He cares nothing except his bonus. He bought PCB with way too much money. He treats the board members extra nice to keep his job. He setup too many processes that slow down everything. The company culture becomes worse and worse. The innovation is gone.

Great Team, Dysfunctional Leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

Wonderful people, good benefits, competitive pay.

Cons

It is surprising that an organization this well respected can be so completely dysfunctional. Leadership style across departments varies dramatically. While some managers are wonderful leaders, others are in dire need of additional training. Operations is a mess. Communication cross-functionally is non existent. Most employees are severely undervalued while others are promoted and kept in their role to the detriment of the team and those they work with. Teams are not given the tools they need for success. Zero investment in additional training or continuous improvement. Overall, culture is resistant to change and very reactive.

Pros

Very custom and highly technical engineering business requiring strong team work from various departments to be successful. Engineering intensive with great career growth opportunities by working alongside talented people to deliver highly complex solutions. Broad customer base with strong global presence. Large scale custom work makes for an exciting place to work. Days go by fast.

Cons

Lack of work/life balance not equal across departments. Frequent leadership turnover and the time for new leadership to understand the business due to its complex nature. New leadership taking similar paths that old leadership had once traveled - this can be good or bad. You may acquire a person's job when an individual departs the company and be expected to absorb the work.
