      Pros

      Great co-workers who will do what it takes to meet bonus goals. Special admiration for the Finance team who works unbelievable hours at the end of every month/quarter/year and reforecast periods.

      Cons

      French based focus on gender diversity that discounts our US focus on all minority hiring.

      Good R&D Industrial R&D facility, not sure fit for the industry it serves. too much politics

      Pros

      Worked in Northboro R&D center. good culture of industrial R&D and well organized. hire good people who like their job. good exposure to wide range of problem. They don't put too much limitation on what you can do or not to do; and there is not too much pressure on productivity so that you have freedom to explore.

      Cons

      too much politics and fight for control. the R&D culture suitable for large innovative projects might not well suitable for the industrial /market they serve which is more commodity and incremental improvement. therefore, the center becomes more of a show piece instead of producing enough break through products to justify its cost

      Thank you for taking time to write your review. I have to disagree with your comments on innovation, however, as 1 out of 4 products did not exist five years ago and our R&D teams are largely responsible for this contribution. In addition, we have been recognized for six years in a row as one of the top 100 Innovative organizations in the world. Even Google and Apple aren't getting this type of recognition. We are proud of what we have built not only in Northboro, but worldwide.

      Pros

      Great community at Northboro site, very welcoming and good atmosphere.

      Cons

      At higher levels management changes can drastically alter the group dynamics in a very negative way, which is not well recognized by HR.

      Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are always learning and adapting based on the feedback we receive. Please be aware that there is more going on behind the scenes when there are leadership changes then most employees know as there is always the risk of a shift in the dynamics when this happens. We take maintaining a positive culture very serious. Thanks again for the review.
