Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the employees are very friendly and helpful. The work/life balance is pretty good. The benefit package is very good, although the salary level is low. Carl Zeiss Vision has a good reputation when it comes to a perception of quality.

Cons

The management is horrible, especially senior management. Moral is low. Communication is non-existent. The good talent leaves within a year or so. Every project is planned with a lack of strategy and time, so the quality is lacking.
