Extron Electronics Design Engineer, Applications Software reviews

The job itself becomes monotonous after a year. You deal with salespeople who will promise anything to the customer and you as an engineer has to come up with a solution after the fact. There is no movement upwards and raises are the minimal annual 2% inflation raises. Low morale environment.

Top executives lack vision and direction. They paid a consulting company lots of money to drive the development of a new product only to cancel it shortly before launch. Also flip-flopped on whether or not to sell a different version of that product even when customers were asking for it Wrong/incompetent people in key management roles Middle management is full of pencil pushers who have been conditioned to only do what they are told to do. No initiative and no free thought to the point where even small-talk with their reports seems like a challenge Company culture is based on rigid and antiquated rules that seem to be meant to instill fear rather than provide a safe and friendly work environment Everything is a secret. Managers have no scruples lying to their reports about already known "secrets" No career growth or development. You get told to go to a conference or training without being consulted or even asked whether it has any benefit or not IT setup and rules hinder work progress and sometimes block it Small boats stored in the employees parking lot!
