Pros

Very good colleague support system. Great benefits and pay. A fair leadership team that listens to ideas. Development opportunities are seen often for the first time since I’ve been at Novanta. Smart business harmonizations over the last several months that have led to skill development and promotions for many of my Engineering colleagues. Significant increase in communication and direction even though the business unit doesn’t have a General Manager.

Cons

Corporate programs come off misaligned with the business unit. Centers of expertise, like supply chain, have expectations that we will likely not reach. Sometimes the leadership in the business unit doesn’t push back when unfair things are requested from teams that are understaffed as it is.

We’re glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience at Novanta and have noticed the effort we’ve put into making the organization a great place to work. Communication and transparency will help support our long-term growth as an organization, and we hear you, you haven’t heard as much from us the past few weeks as you would have liked. There’s so much going on behind the scenes and this is a great reminder for us to keep the team abreast of all initiatives, big and small. If you ever have concerns about what’s requested from your team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your manager. They’re equipped to help guide you through any challenge you may be experiencing and can offer solutions that best fit the needs of your team. We love to know you’re interested in participating in KAIZEN workshops and believe your experience and expertise can help us improve our current processes. Please reach out to your manager or HR Partner - they’ll be able to walk you through expectations and next steps.

We’re glad to hear your appreciation for our flexible, hybrid work schedule as we continue to prioritize the work-life balance of our team members across the globe. Our growth stems from having a happy and healthy team of employees who tackle complex challenges for our customers daily. “Keep Your Promises” is a Novanta value we want to ensure it is applied throughout everything we do, especially in regard to meeting our commitments with compensation. We have robust work and audit processes to help keep our trains running on time but understand errors can happen and take making things right very seriously. If you ever have questions about a bonus and the payout calendar, we are here to help, and we want to know immediately. You can reach out to your manager, the payroll team or anyone in HR.
