Good company, great employees, selfish management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Process and metrics driven, drive to get results, unrelenting pursuit of continuous improvement

Cons

Keep demanding more from employees and rewards are limited to a few. Career development is also only for a limited set of employees - others are merely worker bees. Several executives are considered to be selfish, motivated only by their own compensation and payback.

Pros

Aggressively managed by financial hawks. No wonder it's a well-performing stock. Hard to imagine any competitors being more ruthless.

Cons

Uh, like I said, aggressively managed by financial hawks. Very hard on employees, suppliers and customers. Layoffs come without warning. Solely focused on short-term goals.

Great Lean culture

Business Outlook

Pros

Able to get things changed quickly, easy to move to different roles. Sister companies offer a ton of opportunity if you are willing to move.

Cons

Very high turnover, maybe due to remote location. This location is a cash cow with little investment in plant and equipment. There seemed to be a preference for ex-military for management promotions.
