Nice people but really behind times
Pros
Good people to work with. A lot of really helpful people. Easy going climate, family focused. Senior management is very approachable and strategic
Cons
Archaic documentation and operating systems. A lot of dumb luck and sweat has gotten the company where it is right now, but the infrastructure is about to crumble to the ground. Including most of the 125 year old buildings. Very tight with spending money on system improvements, and training. Everyone is severely lacking in training in newer management and project techniques. Engineering documentation is a disaster as is the project management process. Product teams are poorly organized and poorly understood. A lot of the managers just stick their heads in the sand if they do not want to deal with personnel problems or system problems. Everyone is using workarounds. It is really a big conglomeration of loosely associated companies that no one orchestrated and basic left them to meander and run their own course. A lot of inter-company silos and very little information sharing. Benefits are medium to poor. Medical plan is terrible as is Dental plan.
