Pros

There are lots of smart, dedicated people who want to get things done. Usually, you will find a nice work atmosphere. International collaboration is improving. Great projects.

Cons

There are too many pockets of nepotism and favoritism as well as mediocrity. Several people have found niches where they do more talking than working and still get promoted regularly. For those without friends in management, promotions are hard to get. Outside Milford and Manchester, you're pretty much stuck. Management too busy positioning themselves during current restructuring.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
