Pros

Great people at least in Holland High value on making designing and manufacturing quality product

Cons

No career development not equal in promotions, very politically based (one hit wonders) Benefits dwindling each year Too much bureaucratic red tape in over burden-some processes Company values good quality but is not willing to invest (walk the talk) Too many mid to upper mid level managers not adding value (process managers) Not enough investment in low level professionals (workers making money)

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
