Thank you for the 4-star review! We encourage all associates to keep their manager informed of specific training needs and progress during weekly and/or monthly 1:1 meetings. We also suggest utilizing Workday to better prepare for these conversations and keep your manager in the loop of your goals and career aspirations – you can do this by completing your internal talent profile. If you feel like your position was not properly explained to you, we’d like to hear more about this and how we can improve moving forward.

Pros

Nice environment. I've worked at 8 different companies during a 30 year career, and X-Rite has been the best. The vast majority of the people across the company care deeply about their customers and the company. There is a lot of focus on continuous improvement that is employee led (as opposed to a pushed down from the top). Management really believes in the company's mission, vision and values.

Cons

Communication between teams in the company has gotten better over the years, but can still be improved.

Hi - thanks for the feedback, I'd like to understand more of the specifics behind your comments if you would like to share, please email HR. In our associate engagement survey, people give high ratings to the effectiveness of managers here. Generally the managers are experienced and able to access a lot of very good training to further build their management skills. Frequent feedback is always helpful, we'll continue to encourage managers to keep in close communications on what's going well with a person's performance and what to improve. This says you are a former employee, so not sure how long ago or what role, but there is a significant amount of training , development and mentorship available. We aim for people to keep an open dialogue about what each person needs to be successful and happy in their career with us.
