Solid but changing

Pros

Great culture and people. Focused on quality products.Strong in lean thinking, but varies by area and manager preference.

Cons

Recent changes in methods of running business are not well thought-through. Many supervisory positions are filled with former soldiers who blindly follow orders. A tested well working system when the company was named Valleylab has been transformed into an out of control running train with focus on profits. Recent management changes seem to favor personal relationships.
