Element Materials Technology reviews

The people running the company are based in England, and very disconnected from lab level workers in different countries where labs are located. Benefits are not great, 401k matching is just okay, and pay is low for the type of work being done. Bonuses or profit-sharing are basically non-existent with impossible targets that keep changing. Top management (outside of lab level) wastes a lot of money traveling and having fancy meetings, yet proper investments are not made in facilities or equipment, and definitely not on worker salaries. HR seems to be spread thin, and a lot of times does not seem to know what they're doing. They favor the company and are not on the employee's side. Element recently acquired Exova a competitor, and management has been secretive about what changes will be made.

Poor pay, poor management, poor culture
