Pros

- Good overall place to work - Stable company - Good work life balance - Good healthcare - Many good leaders in the key positions (although not perfect) - No micromanagement on my particular team which allows for higher quality projects, more thorough project analysis, and makes our team look and function better. - Team and management is open to new ideas and new technologies. - Very smart people on my team and across the organization.

Cons

- Even though the team and company is open to new ideas and will have open discussions about them, most new ideas just end up fizzling out. - PTO could be better for employees in their first few years considering that many other companies have better offerings. - Tendency by some teams to over-complicate processes instead of simplify. - Innovation is welcomed, yet is often put on the back burner for other slower moving projects and timelines which have been put in place for years. Sometimes this is due to necessity but other times its just because that is the culture. - Inherent built in resistance to change in many areas. - In many areas using older methodologies (which work but slow), but there is a need to modernize and use more cutting edge technologies. - Lateral and horizontal professional mobility is not as flexible as many other companies, and promotions appear to be scarce. - Despite an openness to new ideas, there simultaneously exists the default position of "no that's not going to happen" instead of.. "how do we make this happen".

Pros

A lot of good people working here.

Cons

Outsourcing too much design work to India and running with too little design and engineering staff in Kalamazoo. Quality is really suffering at the expense of speed. Nexus is a really poor PLM system. It has hurt productivity significantly and caused employees immense frustration.
