Pros

- Competitive health benefits (good not great)

Cons

- Zero pay raise opportunities, get use 2-3% for the rest of your career at Novanta. - Horrible /toxic management, management styles that perpetuate unhealthy habits and conflicts among team members. - Terrible product portfolio (Jadak company) and product innovation. - Unlimited PTO (not really unlimited) - No bonus or employee stock program - meaningless bi-annual performance review (yes you get to write your review twice a year)
