People who do nothing prosper

Pros

Great salary -- at least mine was.

Cons

Weirdest culture, most authoritarian HR, and people who did absolutely nothing prospered. There were actually people who did nothing the entire time I was there (2.5 years)! I'm not exaggerating. Every meeting, these people would say that they were "25%" finished an assignment, and this went on for MONTHS! Six months after first saying that he was "25%" finished a specific project, one employee still claimed to be "25%" finished, and no-one raised an eyebrow. Not doing anything is better at Extron because at least you don't get anyone angry. Weirdest, creepiest place I've ever worked.

I didn't enjoy my experience working here

Pros

- well organised working environment, - professional but very intensive, 6 months, 9 hours/week training program for new employees - prepare (probably) for studying after working hours, writing tests and essays after each class - average salary with attractive benefits i.e. transport allowance, health insurance contribution, 13th salary, 8% holiday entitlement

Cons

- no real possibilities to grow within the company, if you are not very ambitious or you don't have good education but you are disciplined, well organised and hard working person it's job for you - young management, they are doing they best but they seemed to be overworked and not very good prepared for their roles, - strict working policies e.g. you are not allowed to use perfumes - getting this list on the the first day of work gives you a very bad first impression of the company, - punch-in and punch-out in the morning, when you leave work and before/after 30 minutes lunch break and from what I heard this is strictly controlled and can give you problems if you are coming even few minutes late, - since almost all the doors have punch-in system to open them (apart from toilets and one of the kitchen) you have the sensation of working in a jail, - Extron in Amersfoort Schothorst is located in the middle of nowhere - no shops in a walking distance, only IKEA but you have too little time to go there, in the building there are 2 coffee machines and one with sweet/salt food, - HR people are not very nice and helpful and it's not nice when they are all the time looking up when you go to the toilet or to the kitchen for coffee break (control?), people are scared of them, - think if you want to work in a typical US call-center, open space, cubicles, no access to fresh air etc., - Extron has a very bad opinion in the Netherlands - "place to work if you are not ambitious"

Pros

- I enjoy what I do. - Co-workers are great, office setting is clean, friendly, and professional. - All necessary equipment is available, and they purchased some very expensive test equipment as soon as a need arose (we had one unit, but sharing was becoming cumbersome). - Overtime is paid for engineers on high priority projects (1x time, but there are some caveats. If you regularly work 50+ hours, this will work out very well for you). - Dress code just changed (Now, you can wear jeans, collared shirts can be un-tucked, facial hair is allowed, and tattoos and piercings are allowed - for non-managers)

Cons

- This is not the main site, and it could use a few upgraded amenities (Vending machine and Coffee station for example!) - You cannot work remotely, and vacation time is limited, which can be cumbersome. - Clock in/out system. Need to call a hotline if you are excessively late or absent for the day.
