Pros

Great people to work with, a fun product to work on, a very dynamic workplace, with a lot of new products and opportunities for all engineering types. The products are diverse and ultimately system packages or products. Hands-on product and manufacturing. Pretty good ability for employees to grow. The area has a low cost of living and most common shopping is close.

Cons

Organizational processes are poor. The push to market and bottom line drive many decisions.

Union relations can make work fun and interesting.

Roles and responsibilities are not clear in new product launches.

Advice to Management

Align business to support NPIs better.

Reward and take care of your hardworking employees.

Keep investing in R&D.
