Company Direction has Lost its Way

Pros

Bonus Structure was lucrative 35-40% of base salary in Mgmt Positions. Field Technicians are strong. Field Service Tool is good.

Cons

New CEO has gutted the organization and lost vision. Customer service has taken a backseat to Margins. Margin expectations are so high that it makes TKE uncompetitive in the market place. People are treated as expendable and they have a "what have you done for me today mentality" Consistently Cut support roles and dump workload on remaining employees, who are already overwhelmed and overworked. No job is safe, restructurings are frequent.

It Depends...

Pros

Most everybody is extremely friendly and down to earth. Overall very good people to know on a personal level. As an engineer, you get to see a project through from the very beginning all the way to the end, and if you're good, you come to be relied on as an expert in your domain. Elevators are really cool, and you get to learn a lot of really cool stuff. The work can be really fun and exhilarating when you're given free range to do your thing.

Cons

PTO and benefits are pretty shoddy considering the profitability of the elevator organization. Lots of people in product development are overworked and micromanaged down to the minute. Workload is disproportionate to compensation and employee appreciation, and upward mobility can be difficult unless you are willing to move into management and play "the game." Huge disconnects exist between departments, making it hard to get things done sometimes. Management in each department has a really bad "us vs them" mentality that makes it very difficult for anybody to work together on things that really need to be done as a group effort. Lots of resistance to change, despite what our marketing department likes to say about us (though I think this is slowly getting better) As much as we talk about being a technology driven company and like to brag about becoming adopters of "big data," it seems like the majority of the company's decisions are still made on emotions and "gut feelings." Many managers don't listen to the facts if they're not convenient, and set arbitrary timelines which are unreasonable, despite engineering telling them this can't be accomplished (then when projects come in late, they turn around and blame engineers and project managers)

Pros

Some people are great but not that many

Cons

Too many poor changes. The new management only cares about how much money the company makes and not about the people who are making it.
