Pros

Challenging projects, Collaborative environment, not competitive, other FEA/CFD Engineers with good skills and experience. Offices are sharp. Easy access to direction and executive team.

Cons

Clients with low budget, requiring engineers to do miracles. A lot of small pojects to be closed fast. Sales not always understanding well the value and the work of the engineering team.

Pros

Direct leadership is good. Immediate team works hard despite constant complaints from legacy Creaform employees showing lack of trust.

Cons

Following the merger, leadership appears to remain largely aligned with the legacy Creaform organization. There is a strong preference for maintaining established ways of working, with limited openness to change or meaningful integration with the new teams. Resistance to adaptation is often vocal and, in practice, tends to shape outcomes. At the same time, leadership behavior reflects a cost-first, context-last mindset-- prioritizing near-term financial or structural targets without first investing in a clear understanding of the work, capabilities, or downstream impact. Decision-making seems heavily influenced by a small group of long-trusted advisors, and the CEO appears to rely on their perspective. As a result, the organization lacks a coherent long-term strategy and instead operates in a largely reactive mode, responding to the concerns of familiar voices rather than driving a disciplined, forward-looking vision.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful perspective. We appreciate your recognition of the strength of direct leadership and the commitment of our teams in a period of significant transformation. We also acknowledge that mergers of this scale inevitably introduce complexity, cultural friction, and differing expectations around ways of working. Following the merger, our organization has been deliberately working to balance continuity with evolution. While preserving what made both FARO and Creaform successful, we also recognize the need for strong integration across legacy teams, and broad representation of perspectives in decision‑making. This evolution is ongoing. We hear your feedback regarding the importance of deeply understanding team capabilities and operational realities before setting structural or cost‑related targets. Sustainable integration requires thoughtful investment, dialogue, and alignment—not just efficiency. Feedback like yours helps us reflect and improve as we continue to build a more unified, forward‑looking organization. Thank you for sharing your experience.
