X-Rite reviews

EVERYTHING is data driven. EVERYTHING is driven by hitting target numbers. The managers are 100% corporate drones who only care about hitting their metrics. Some are two-faced who pretend to care about the people, but realistically can't be trusted. There are operations managers who are extremely young and experience/immaturity is readily apparent. Some team leaders are just awful to work under. Some team leaders are on their phone all day, watching movies. The atmosphere USED to be awesome. It WAS enjoyable to come to work every day. There used to be "lunch and learns" where pizza was provided and you could learn about the product that was being produced. Those disappeared fairly quickly. Coffee and donuts used to be provided at the "end of the month", but again, those disappeared as well. "Crosstraining" is doublespeak for doing more without extra pay. Its extremely hard to advance in your "career" if you aren't in a production manager position. Its impossible to transition from operations to information technology, even if you have the skill set. Many positions are designed to where there is only lateral movement, no movement up in the corporate ladder.

Promotions appear to be based on extracurricular relationships.
