      Decent work life balance but management is conservative and no encouragement for remote work

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work life balance is decent. Good team to work with , benefits are decent. A lot of opportunity to learn new technologies as they use IT technologies used is very diverse.

      Cons

      The upper management does not understand the difference in IT work that can be done fully remote and the work of a staff that needs to work in a factory or lab setting. The employee attrition rate has been high since they eliminated remote work and is expected to get worse as most companies are now flexible with remote opportunities (since COVID) and the management wants all its employees back on site from sept 2022. Lots of finger pointing between different groups if something does not work.

      Limited opportunity for growth and limited leadership coaching

      Principal financial analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Predictable work hours, job security, culture is open and coworkers are great!

      Cons

      No incentives or support from management to help younger employees move up and grow their career or develop new skill sets. Finance is considered a support function and not a strategic function at the company so Finance staff is not rewarded as much for their contributions. Company pays Finance employees significantly below market price.
