Pros

Awesome coworkers, semi-quick promotions if you work hard.

Cons

Management style by some in Manager/Supervisor roles is lacking/non-existant, Senority often wins, poor compensation compared to others in the same field.

Pros

Lots of hard working and knowledgeable people you can learn from, however the management doesn't seem to. Can abuse sick policy without any ramifications. Constant turnover, so you meet a lot of people. I think the pay is fair, I make the average in the area for my job, some of my friends make more and have more vacation.

Cons

Very disorganized. Executives sit in meeting and design the products, instead of listening and trusting the people that work under them. Project scopes are constantly changing, and creating more work, or projects are so rushed mistakes happen and it creates more work for everyone. Either way more work and long hours. Lots of animosity between groups, they are always ready to throw you under the bus. PROCESSES or lack there of. No one follows the ones that are in place, processes are not approved by the teams that must use them day to day.

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.
