Engineers Beware

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Lots of open positions (because everyone is quitting due to toxic management)

Cons

Management flips so much they should start a gymnastics team. The fourth manager they hired for my former department (in as many years) poisoned the well. This person drove a department of six down to a department of one in a little over a year; purely through poor leadership, disrespect, and zero accountability. This person could do no wrong in the eyes of upper management and all the engineering employees suffered the consequences. Marel has turned into a joke. If you want medium pay, poor benefits, no room to move up, and no raises, jump aboard!
