Business Outlook

Pros

High ethical standards and great people

Cons

Misplaced priorities with respect to investment. We seem to be ignoring our core, Which is building high quality industrial control products, in favor of transitioning to a software company. Investment in software development should be an “AND” instead of an “OR”. Also, what’s up with the February announcement of buying carbon credits from 1Point5 for direct carbon dioxide capture. We can’t get enough embedded software engineers (due to current hiring freeze) to create products that drive value for customers and shareholders, but we can waste money doing this? Unbelievable!

Pay is good for the area

Given lots of paid time off but good luck getting it approved. Expect to work 48+ hours per week. No work life balance. People are good to work with, but you are literally always here
