Pros

Company reputation covers a lot of faults. Decent benefits. Not all divisions have the long list of problems that the Wind Energy & Renewables have.

Cons

The Wind group grew out of a family run business in Denmark. Their large growth to a global wind supplier has started to slow due to the reluctance to change their processes to global industry standards. Large assembly operations are controlled loosely by tribal knowledge brought over to the US from Denmark, versus industry wide use of assembly drawings and documentation. When the US engineers try to make improvements to product or processes, it is met with arrogance or indifference from Denmark most times. The local managers give no advance guidance as to where the company is heading. There is a lack of leadership locally. PMP is used as a de-motivator, not as a career advancement tool. There is no local career growth for engineers; only growth is by transfers, and local management controls that movement because it is hard to get engineers into Hutchinson.

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
