Pros

Great creative freedoms balance of Art and Science. market is not as volital as one would think. Private company so there is the ability for felxability

Cons

I think they sometime lack the mentorship that help potential leaders in the company. There are people who want to learn and improve in business knowledge of Fort Wayne Metals. Elder statesmen seem to be too preoccupied

Beware of HR

Business Outlook

Pros

Somewhat decent pay, depending on department.

Cons

The HR team here is useless. Seemingly anti-employee. Many concessions made for lower performing employees, higher scrutiny for productive, effective workers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Historically a good place to work. Average wages. Average benefits. Plenty of good people left. Handled the pandemic very well. Attempts to incorporate innovation. Sr Engineer Mgmt is currently solid. R&D is solid. Tech Center is solid.

Cons

Culture has been diluted from growth. In general, good Leadership steps down, or leaves the company due to lack of pay or support resulting in poor leadership getting promoted out of necessity. Sr Quality Mgnt has been average, at best, for years. With the boomers retiring job training is inadequate, if not negligent. This has been, and will continue to be felt in New Product Development. HR is pretty darn spotty. Scott Glaze is sadly stepping out, his successor is a glorified used car salesman. Misdiagnosing the leadership problem has lead to the attendance policy changing over the last few years, People show up sick and pass it around like @ a daycare.
