Pros

Relaxed company with little restrictions on schedule and good atmosphere between employees. Here you can just come to work, get a paycheck and go home. It is easy to coast. No real reprimand if you make a mistake thus making job security very good. Good opportunities to travel.

Cons

If you want a real paying job, this is not the place. Very slow moving. Upper management positions are awarded by time with company, not experience, education, of ability to perform. WesTech has difficulty keeping young talent, so all that is left if mediocre employees, and mediocrity if allowed or encouraged.

Lots of good and Lots of bad

Pros

Employee ownership fosters a sense of actual ownership of jobs and projects. Lean initiatives have been somewhat successful, as employees buy in. They do right by their employees a lot of time, and the core values are really amazing. If they're followed, they make you feel like you're a valued member of the team. If your boss is great, your life is great.

Cons

Lots of nepotism still rampant at this company, even though HR supposedly put a stop to that. Relatives of higher up employees have lifelong jobs, no matter how they are doing. If you're not family, you have to work harder, and get paid less. Pay is sub-standard and the yearly cost of living raises are considered adequate. 3% a year is standard. Not ok. Flat organization makes it hard to get anything changed, as so many people need to approve any change that it usually loses steam and flops. Engineers make bad bosses a lot of the time, but it's the only way to move up here so that is where they end up after 20 years. Misogyny and unfair treatment of women is rampant. Pay gaps, lack of promotion and being called "honey: happen a lot.
