Great place to work, but you have to work hard!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent 401k, decent medical/dental, somewhat competitive salary, tuition reimbursement. Training/continued education is encouraged. Hands-on engineering is encouraged.

Cons

Long hours are sometimes encouraged, if not expected. During tough economic times like these in the US, engineers are asked to take on more work and work longer hours. The free fitness center just closed.

Structural Gaps in Management, Growth and Innovation. Not a place for skilled Individuals.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Visionary leaders at the director and upper management levels. - Consideration and support from few managers/directors - Good work-life balance

Cons

- Few managers display aggressiveness, ego-driven decisions, bias, disrespect, bossiness, and rude speech — negatively impacts employee mental health and morale. No check on managerial behavior. - No clear, written guidelines or standardized metrics for promotion. Excessive discretion is given to managers, resulting in inconsistency and potential bias. - No monetary reward to contributions that enhance workflows or add value. Feels like exploitation rather then being empowered. - A strong bias towards personal methods from technical managers. No corrections, open mindedness or third party checks. - Designs lack originality—mostly mimic other OEMs, with weak fundamentals and no clear innovation.
