Business Outlook

Pros

In the design centers, this company has great opportunities for new products and everyone gets to work on them. Provided the mining industry is doing well. It's a very safety conscious company that is trying to overthrow legacy overdesigned equipment with newer and at the same time, cost-effective solutions.

Cons

Company's IT department is terrible for design centers. Extremely ineffective use of expensive systems, portals and software.

Beware of new CEO and New Management Structure

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good...for now! They are in the process of making them more costly to the employees.

Cons

Unstructured at the Sr. Executive CEO level and trickle down effect is like a toilet flushing that is clogged! If you are American, there is no advancement into Sr. Management positions or higher. New leadership is pulling from his international team rather than promoting extremely qualified American employees. No green card - > No opportunities!! Company is driving age of company down. If you are over the age of 48, do not apply or beware cause you will be offered an early retirement package.
