Pros

I can't think of anything positive about my employment experience at this company.

Cons

Software pay is not great when compared to other employers in the area. Machine control and analytical product is incredibly dated, looks like something made in the early 2000s because it is, which is quite a lot of tech debt that still hasn't been addressed.(Like using 32bit applications in 2024) Severely lacking in innovation to stay up to date with the full manufacturing autonomy that the rest of the industry is heading towards. My direct leadership was very micromanaging and belittling. Whole company functions like an old boys club as well with HR, they will always side with senior management and will allow your own managers to baselessly retaliate against you. Apply at your own risk.

Pros

-Most of my colleagues are fantastic... engaging, enthusiastic about their profession, and always willing to lend a hand and share their knowledge. -The job is challenging in a good way. -Company is stable... though not always predictable.

Cons

-Everything seems to be driven by decisions made in Japan. -The answer to every question is "That's the way it is". -For people always wanting to continue to learn and improve, opportunities are not often offered. -Company is not keeping up with competitive wages in the industry at all.

Pros

A couple old work horses who kept the place moving.

Cons

Abusive leadership People in vital roles refusing to do their job so that others would have to pick up the slack. Nothing was planned in advance.
