Pros

WesTech management works hard to foster a family environment and the people are truly superb. They live by the values they preach and try to accommodate their employee's as best they can. All things considered it's a decent place to work.

Cons

Really the only downside is the lack of growth opportunity. There isn't a clearly defined path for progression for anyone other than engineers.

Pros

World travel, 401k match, every other Friday off

Cons

Group leaders lack training in leading as do managers are engineers with no people skills. Promotions have nothing to do with how hard you work but more if you fit their mold.

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.
