Pros

There are some fun and amazing coworkers.

Cons

Just about everything else...unless you like high stress, long hours, no recognition and inept leadership, that is.

At Novanta we have a clear vision to “deliver innovation that matters” and we are invested in growing the company and building a portfolio of products that make a difference in peoples’ lives. We are privileged to work with world class customers to create high-performing products and we understand sometimes that can create high-stress situations. Our employees’ well-being is a priority for us, and we provide various working models that allow employees to balance the work with what brings them joy outside of Novanta. Our engagement surveys provide our people leaders with insight on what our teams enjoy and what needs to be improved or changed. We analyze the data gathered from those surveys to better understand where our strengths are and where we can improve. This is a critical part of our Novanta Way culture and we are dedicated to listening to our teams and taking actions to improve. We regularly conduct focus groups, townhall meetings and Novanta Growth System (NGS) events to help make Novanta a better place to work. We want to know about any employee not having a positive experience because we can and will do something about it.

Pros

Good Pay and Unlimited PTO

Cons

It has taken 1 year for Novanta to run ATI in to the ground. ATI had a family type type apmosphere. It is lost and beyond repair. Bonuses for given to management only and the worker bees knew it. Made them feel unappreciated

Pros

There are no pros here anymore.

Cons

Bad management, over educated kids coming in with no passion to learn anything. All want to float to the top. Same problems over and over and over.... Too much pressure, end of quarters all the same nightmare.
