Pros

The company itself does a lot for its employees, but each office is different, with some being better than others. In La Crosse, the engineering managers are non-technical and have little management training, so they are difficult to work with. Other offices I have worked with seem to have better leaders, so if you're looking to work in another office, ignore this review.

Being a global company, there are opportunities to travel and/or work with people in other countries. Also, there are opportunities to relocate and for personal advancement.

Cons
  • Management.
  • Being a global company can mean trying to work with people in different time zones. If you don't mind working non-typical hours, this isn't bad.
  • Career opportunities are limited in La Crosse.
  • No work/life balance.
Advice to Management
  • Replace the deadbeat managers. Most of them are under-qualified, lacking basic management skills.
  • Fix the morale problems. Employees are burned out due to the excessive work load, mostly due to mismanagement.
