Pros

The staff are amazing to work with and the work is very interesting and rewarding. Loads of overtime opportunities

Cons

You will be underpaid and constantly given hoops to jump through to increase pay but it will never happen. Overtime is great but they have reduced the rates.

Pros

Novanta is actively trying to foster a modern culture

Cons

Some companies Novanta has acquired are conservative and partly resist any approach for change. This directly contradicts Novantas open, positive and modern cultural approach.

As we grow, we know embracing our new teammates and harmonizing our company cultures, values, and processes can be challenging. To address this, we invest in collaborative engagement activities that aim to break down hierarchical barriers and empower all team members. We offer comprehensive training and development programs to help with the transition and alignment of new employees with our Novanta Way culture.
