Pros

All the pros about this company left when the previous US leadership left the company. The current US leadership is on a path to eliminate as many positions as possible. The previous leadership that left focused on engineering, product development and customer relationship, the current leadership is focusing on saving the company money by cutting as much as possible.

Cons

Prepare to work overtime about 6-8 months. This company has a culture of passive-aggressively push for employees to work overtime. If you dont work overtime you will be noted and singled out during daily stand up, and it will go under your performance.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
