Nice work environment but light on innovation/excitement

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally, you will surrounded by nice, caring, dedicated people. The US branch of the company, formerly Square D, is a stable old-fashioned organization pretty much straight out of 1950s America. It's one of the few places that still has a decent retirement program, provided you put in your 20+ years of service. The company took some hard knocks a few years ago, but seems better positioned now to respond to market conditions.

Cons

The company is too focused on internal initiatives at the expense of innovation. And a lot of these initiatives are pie-in-the-sky, implemented from the top down, and fail to deliver on promises of streamlined effort and cost. The ratio of managers and support staff to core development people is too high. You're considered lucky if you get to do actual development work rather than reworking old or brand label products.

Know what you are getting in for, but the best tech place in the Central Valley

Business Outlook

Pros

The worldwide headquearters in Clovis which is located in the California Central Valley means that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other regions, especially the San Francisco / San Jose / Bay Area. The company does do a lot to help those that need help in its work force.

Cons

The company is very manufacturing centric, from the top down. It is NOT like working for a software company. The benefits are not comparable with other tech companies. The 401k is not comparable either. The bonus structure is officially none existant. These things combined make the compensation packages offered somewhat unattractive.

Not Good.

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

I am a software engineer and my views may be more relevant to software engineers rather than other competencies.(GTCI, Bangalore) 1. The company provides a good work-life balance.The work load is moderate.This is mostly because a lot of review and pondering happen at every stage of the project. 2. The quality of work here is not bad.You may end up doing some projects right from concept to production. 3. The place in inhabited by lot of people who are looking to go a further studies.You may get good company in your preparation for GRE/GMAT etc.You can always not work and get away with it here.Truly.

Cons

What happens when organization is not well defined? 1. Confusion about who does what. A lot of roles are created to keep people happy.There is a project manager and then there is a resource manager. We also have schedulers!( yes,they "own" the MS project files!!!). Wait, we have a product design lead, a software lead, a mech lead, an hardware(electronics)lead. AND we have two-three people who actually do work!! 2. Lot of fighting between these people. - Lot of complaints from the acquired company's employees - they do not want to work with Bangalore for fear of loss of job. What happens if you want to resign ? Answer -1.You may be terminated.(shown the door,literally) 2. You will certainly be asked to serve a notice period of three months..even if you do not have any work to do.. The stand of the CEO here is - I do not care if you warm the chair for that time!! The company is best avoided. Join only if you have no other option.
