Pros

Name recognition. The company is the largest of its kind, but mainly now through acquisition of smaller competitors. Competition is there but very few can match the resources of FEI.

Cons

Leadership is very distrusting of employees. It is difficult if not impossible to get accolades for going beyond job description. The communication between management and emploees is mostly limited to criticism and demand for compliance.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
