      Not at all a good experience - disrespectul closure and lack of follow-through on commitments

      Pros

      Great leadership at their Netherlands offices, not so much, locally

      Cons

      Massive oversights in budgeting for the necessary resources to accomplish whats necessary to meet quality milestones. Engineers in SQA are faced with having to negotiate with the project teams to get the money they need to perform APQP, CPK, Gage and audits. No money was set aside for this and the work had to be done remotely. Money was available however for exotic European and costa rica trips for the manager/director and even trips home to work near the family on holidays. My performance was rated highly by my project team and I was very proud to deliver, despite having to beg for the funds to do the work. However, when I put in my 2 week notice, to told me to leave almost immediately, and with no pay. They also didn't finish my last expense report and it went 100+ days past due, causing me over 40 hours of personal time to negotiate with AmEx and my manager. Really poor showing all the way around and an incredibly disrespectful exit, again for someone rated highly by their work teams.

      Lack of Staibility

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong benefits (Health insurance and 401(k)), nice people on the team, flexible on working from home, good bonus plans, great commissions plans, work life depends on your location and department

      Cons

      Constant change in Andover and throughout the company. Lack of job security and for career growth, you must be willing to relocate. Too much focus on cost reduction, and it has an impact on morale and work quality. Many people are doing the workload of two or three people; North America is viewed as a cost burden to Corporate. Focus on margin growth not cost reduction.

      Pros

      Good vacation time to start, decent benefits, decent corporate management, cutting edge medical technology.

      Cons

      Under average compensation. Subjective profit sharing makes for small bonuses. Bonuses often offered as catered food instead of currency. Culture is that they can hire anyone to do cutting edge technology work as long as the instructions to do the work are written well, often leads to quality issues. No matter what the training and experience level, employees are treated almost as fools.
