Pros

They're a global leader in their market. Did not lay anyone off during the recession. In general, workers have a lot of job stability here. People are friendly and approachable. Offers plenty of on-the-job training. Family owned and operated. All manufacturing is done in NJ so its easy to be proud of what you're doing.

Cons

Upper management is a joke. There is no direction, no global policies, a severe lack of communication between departments. Decisions are made without forming a proper business strategy. At times, Crestron feels like a bunch of groups trying to get ahead of each other rather than operating for the good of the company and each other. Most senior positions are held by people who are related to ownership or whose entire family work there, and everyone else fights over the few spots left. If you're not a software engineer, don't expect to make anything close to market value. Benefits are sub-par and PTO policy is inadequate. They choose to be fined for being open during state of emergencies rather than keep their employees safe. Sure, they tell you "if you don't feel safe, stay home" but then you're marked as absent and don't get paid. Future is uncertain with the retirement of the founder/President who drove most of the company's innovation and as tech giants like Google make a push into the market.

Pros

Relaxed. Management understands traditional AV industry is saturated and is trying hard to pivot the company into new direction. Whether it will work or not is to be seen.

Cons

This place really needs to re-evaluate how they hire and retain engineers. Across all disciplines, there are many senior level engineers who have no idea what they are doing. Some lack such basic engineering skills and knowledge which makes one wonder if they had proper higher level education or lied about their past career experiences on their resume. Most of them are genuinely nice people, but they are really dragging down productivity.
