Revolving door, no strategy, no clue

Pros

Benefits CEO cares (although he’s not really too involved) If you don't like your boss, be patient because he/she will be gone in a few months. Interesting projects.

Cons

Honestly, what is going on here? The number of senior managers who have come and gone over the past few years is truly staggering. I genuinely don't know why people would join this company. A previous review said it was a ship adrift. Totally true. The company is owned by the Pohlad’s and it seems the family just wanted to give the grandkid something to keep him busy. Sad because this company has the history and potential to be great. It just needs leadership and to follow a strategy.

Pros

Great projects and good Engineer core who work well with each other. Many engineers have been with the company for a very long time.

Cons

Budgets for Engineering hours are set by management who have no experience in what it takes to design a never built custom piece of equipment and then Engineers are under the microscope when hours are exceeded. The company does not invest in employee training. Employees train each other.

Thank you for your input. Yes, we have great projects and great employees! Budgets for projects are market driven, guided by engineering fellows, chief technology officer, and subject matter experts. Some projects are driven by client needs that are fast paced guided by their needs and market demands. We stretch to meet those needs where we can. It is those efforts that afford PaR to be the great place that it is, with great projects. We are always working to expand training opportunities, which can be both unique to functional skill set and on the job training for custom solutions. We will always embrace our engineering community to nurture and grow one another through the wisdom that each person gains solving the most challenging tasks.

Pros

Products are great and innovative. Most of the employees are great and wonderful to work with. Potential growth for the company could be great.

Cons

Some of the executives and senior managers are not tactful and stifle the creativity and expertise of their talented employees. They do not hold true to their core values.
