Pros
Sectra proudly boasts that it hires the Best People, which seems correct. The people you meet here are very amiable and good to work with. In addition, the work that you get to do here is satisfyingly technical and feels rewarding. Other pros: Great benefits Great people Plenty of work (read: sales) on the horizon
Cons
Unfortunately, Sectra hasn't been treating it's people like they're the best lately. Over the last couple of years, they reorganized the company. Since then, workloads have been increasing unsustainably. Engineers, in particular, have been over-worked and under-paid, leading to an exodus, where the remaining engineers have been expected to cover the workloads of their departed colleagues, exacerbating the situation. Worse, management shows no intention of slowing down the rate of projects to make the workload more manageable. Without improvements in the engineer training pipeline, hiring will not be fast enough to stem the bleeding. Other cons: Low compensation Mediocre work/life balance (recently) Poor management response to feedback
