Pros

Interesting customer locations throughout the world.

Cons

Middle management completely powerless and only information passers. Too top heavy with management. Dropping margins, increasing lateness for customer deliveries. If you want a 2.5-3% raise at best, this is your place to work. Performance/effort is not tied to raises. 6 Cardboard signs on all conference rooms for "Accountability, Customer Commitment, Invest in our Future and other BS" are all propaganda. New operations management just beats the drum harder and tries to squeeze out productivity from a procedure ridden company structure. The real issues of the company are not being addressed: under staffing of engineers and designers, late deliveries, employee training, hindering procedures, and low morale. Used to be a great place to work, now is turning into a barren wasteland of staff on edge, projects not meeting target delivery dates, customer complaints, and lack of trust in middle and upper management.

Pros

Great people, great history. Engineers are top notch (but leaving fast on there own or during frequent layoffs to make up for CEO's lies to Wall Street).

Cons

Current management team has only built spark plugs and components and don't get this engineered products businessWe need a new CEO soon. Like other posts say we haven't had a good CEO since Chip. This Jeff Graves guy just put another guy to run test. The sensors guy (spark plugs). Were doomed.
