Pros

The people within the same team/unit support each other quite well from technical assistance to scheduling needs. The work from project to project is similar, but varies quite a bit, thereby providing new learning opportunities where one doesn't just stagnate and loose interest.

Cons

In part, due to its large size, management doesn't listen to lower level employees (grunts) concerns. Why should they? They're just the ones performing all the work Dematic's customers care about and pay for ultimately. Further, management is disorganized; the structure of the business units and within the units is set up such that the left hand doesn't even know that there is a right hand.

Pros

Great pay, Good autonomy. Exciting technology. Lots of opportunity to improve and license to make changes, the Grand Rapids office has many great people who built Rapistan who are the best part of working there.

Cons

Ruled by the quarterly results, little transparency in outcomes, little care for individuals, many instances of people being fired or promoted unfairly, lots of politics, constantly trying to look better than they are, No real values to speak of. Pray you have a good manager, they are unlikely to be held accountable
