      No upward mobility development is in the planning

      Engineering

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The health insurance costs are rising slower than most

      Cons

      Employee engagement is a huge hurdle to overcome - results for employees is a slow but sure downward spiral to a flatline in career and financial growth. Managers are not real managers since they have no talent to retain folks.

      Great products, great people, engaging work, not sure it's a career

      Engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging and interesting problems to solve, as an engineer, difficult to ask for better Strong values with lots of sincere emphasis on integrity Great business outlook; energy, controls and aviation are great markets at the moment Multinational Work-life balance, on the whole, is pretty good Some solid managers (they just need to be pushed up the ladder) Fast organic growth Manufactures large percentage of products, and investing heavily in additional manufacturing capability Enjoy working with my peers Colorado north front range is hard to beat

      Cons

      Many of the below are likely due to the fast growth, but still need to be addressed Vague advancement roadmap Vague roles and responsibilities, which is actually quite interesting as a decent amount of emphasis is placed on defining roles and responsibilities in charts and spreadsheets, however, the follow thru is lacking Following from above, excessive micro-management Upper management goal statements do not reflect action (I attribute this to management not fully understanding the implications of the stated goals due to rapid growth taking them out of their areas of expertise) Low emphasis on individual continuous improvement (education), within engineering Very slow to change (but could be said of my last employer as well, pretty much a given with any company that provides product for highly regulated industries (commercial power generation/aerospace) Poor reception of ideas originating from relative outsiders
