Pros

The company mission of helping our customer make the world healthier, cleaner & safer. The 4I values of Integrity, Intensity, Involvement and Innovation. The company appears to be hiring people with 0 years experience, right out of college, at the same levels as employees with >10 years experience.

Cons

The culture of FEI has been diluted over the years. The highly matrixed organization is creating division and poor management culture lacks the directive for collaboration to effectively address customer challenges. The pay is well below the average for similar roles and there is lack of ability to be recognized and promoted based on merit. There is a lack of resources provided to enable quality and to meet customer commitments. Burnout and lack of compensation has lead to high turnaround.

Pros

Stock is soaring. Record profits quarter after quarter. Little turnover, big RIF's haven't happened in years, little ones are silent and sudden Interesting technology Some good groups to work in. Career is as good as your manager Company will be around for a long time to come.

Cons

We are told to take time to do things right, yet consistently firefighters are rewarded and those doing what we are suppose to are passed over for raises Promotions are possible. Don't expect anything more than a title, almost nobody gets a salary bump, just more responsibilities and often are poorly reviewed by the group they exit. Headquarters in US; but Europe dictates everything. See other reviews Record profits all the time, lucky to get 2% raise and told employees are the greatest asset Lower management often lies and there is no accountability Lots of lower management have created empires that serve individual values, not their function. Don't question an empire or a cherished. Actually told that to be a meets employee I need to consistently be there 8 am till 6 and 7 pm and weekends like everyone else, otherwise I'm not meeting the corporate published value statement Open door doesn't exist. Speak out and your career is over
