Pros

Very respectful environment, people will always hear you and help you with anything you need. FP&A team is open and young, I can talk to anyone from it.

Cons

Benefits are super low and there is not so much proactivity from managers to improve them. Not so much flexibility for working remotely, not bonuses for Jr positions, not Christmas money, not help with public transport, not education budget, not budget for fitness/wellness.

We’re happy you mentioned that Novanta has a respectful, collaborative environment where everyone feels approachable. That’s a testament to our team members and their contributions to building such a strong, positive culture. You also mentioned wanting to be heard, and we’re listening! We are sharing your feedback internally. People value various benefits differently, which is why we regularly evaluate ours to ensure they meet the needs of our current team.

Pros

entertaining work space: When a clown moves into a palace, the clown does not become king, but the palace becomes a circus

Cons

No growth or salary hikes; in addition to inhaling toxic Beryllium fume on the production floor, you have to witness venomous management people out side. Strong dislikes for locals and layoffs are daily affairs. Management is taken over by foreigners, arrogant and street thugs.
