Pros

Employees have flexibility, understanding supervisors, workload is manageable and NPI department seems to have their priorities in order for the most part. Pay is good, benefits are good and the people (colleagues) are solid. If you're someone looking to make an impact, you will feel like you have the opportunity to do here. For those there that are really trying hard, keep up the great work.

Cons

There is plenty of good, but there is so much more lacking... Mid-to-high level managers lack basic understanding of issues, challenges, customer requirements. The Wilsonville factory is not a cookie cutter business and applying cookie cutter manufacturing norms doesn't work. The solution to most of the larger issue seems to be to implement more layers of management. Production is composed of mostly hiring service folks who have very little reason to over-achieve. Sometimes they lack basic skill to get their job done. The same problems seem to reoccur often, but there is little desire to truly fix them or to support those who want to fix it- that applies to ops, engineering, purchasing..

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
