Pros

Many good people willing to help. Long term vision is encouraging. Willing to make needed changes to improve culture.

Cons

VP level top heavy. Many new top level VP that are hired in, not promoted. Not enough experience at higher level to make a timely decision that actually sticks. Lots of back and forth with no accountability or willingness to make a call and deal with it. The fear of being wrong halts and slows progress on projects. Technology for Engineering is weak. Sub-par equipment and low investment in employee tools and facilities. General process are very weak. Lots of process that are not followed or even known about. What is present is very weak. There is a fear of process creep that could slow agility down, but making mistakes is also very expensive in rework and waste. Needs to be a compromise. Health Care benefit is weak if you live outside of Waukesha. Only par if you live in or near Waukesha.

Pros

Great people and a lot of training provided. Huge potential for sales in the market.

Cons

Very behind from a technology point which significantly limits sales potential. Very poor communication feedback from senior management on performance, goals, and expectations. The company and management needs to be more agile and willing to change in order to grow, but they still operate like a private company and severely stuck in their old school ways.
