Good overall company but not without flaws

Pros

- Good overall place to work - Stable company - Good work life balance - Good healthcare - Many good leaders in the key positions (although not perfect) - No micromanagement on my particular team which allows for higher quality projects, more thorough project analysis, and makes our team look and function better. - Team and management is open to new ideas and new technologies. - Very smart people on my team and across the organization.

Cons

- Even though the team and company is open to new ideas and will have open discussions about them, most new ideas just end up fizzling out. - PTO could be better for employees in their first few years considering that many other companies have better offerings. - Tendency by some teams to over-complicate processes instead of simplify. - Innovation is welcomed, yet is often put on the back burner for other slower moving projects and timelines which have been put in place for years. Sometimes this is due to necessity but other times its just because that is the culture. - Inherent built in resistance to change in many areas. - In many areas using older methodologies (which work but slow), but there is a need to modernize and use more cutting edge technologies. - Lateral and horizontal professional mobility is not as flexible as many other companies, and promotions appear to be scarce. - Despite an openness to new ideas, there simultaneously exists the default position of "no that's not going to happen" instead of.. "how do we make this happen".

Horrible R&D leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

Zero pros because of low moral and horrible leadership. If new leadership were installed at the Kalamazoo R&D component, then the people would be a 'pro', but everyone has unattainable deliverables, so it's like living in hell for 8 hours/day

Cons

Horrible 'gotcha' R&D leadership at all levels. Team members have unattainable timelines and the stress level (again, due to two R&D leaders ONLY), is outrageous. Temecula is stress free and so is Houston...Kalamazoo is a nightmare.
