Vantaggi

I was able to make and save a good amount of money Fantastic benefits I will miss I was able to learn something new everyday and got a lot of technical training I felt like my direct manager was attentive and willing to help me succeed

Svantaggi

Weak leadership at the very top I found this company to be homogenous in gender, race, religion, and thought. This is not a blind spot - I went to the board to let them know I think it is an issue and that it is something only company leadership can solve, but that I was willing to help them work on a solution. I left the meeting extremely disappointed with their lack of acknowledgement and action, and nothing was done. The 'culture' in my experience on the sales team is white, christian, male and conservative and it took a lot of energy for me to be there. I also found the drinking culture to be a known issue here that for some reason can't be fixed? In my time there, there was not a sales meeting without leadership and most of the almost all male team getting wasted and forcing you to stay out and watch them cary on late into the night.

Vantaggi

The company strongly promotes a sense of internal loyalty through its "Orange Blood" culture, presenting itself as a tight-knit family. While this can create a feeling of community for those who align closely with leadership expectations, it may feel less welcoming to individuals who value independent thinking or outside perspectives.

Svantaggi

For some, the cultural intensity can verge on insularity, with a few observers informally comparing it to a "true believer" environment. Company events and traditions are frequent and lively, but may feel performative rather than inclusive to those who have not spent their entire careers with the company. Within the company there is a clear ambition to align with modern tech industry standards. But the company's foundations in industrial manufacturing continue to strongly influence its culture and operations. This heritage provides stability, but also limits the speed and flexibility associated with true technology-driven organizations. Overall, while the workplace appears friendly and committed on the surface, prospective employees should take time to evaluate whether the culture’s strong internal focus and industrial paced product development supports their long-term career growth.
