Has to be one of the only companies that does not have a demo program or even let the engineering/design team on the boats for testing, use, having fun, experiencing the product that they are developing. This seems obvious, but hopefully that changes with new management. Hidden agendas everywhere. The company is obviously growing headcount, capabilities, as well as the facility itself; however, it seems like it is undecided whether or not the company is trying to reinvent itself or preserve the old culture of Pursuit. Either is fine, but navigating that is frustrating. For example, the engineering and design team has grown, with individuals that have worked with very competent groups in the past, however they are led by people and processes that have been with Pursuit for 20+ years (or no processes at all). Again, preserving the culture is fine, however, I don't think bringing in young talent that is inevitably going to want to change things and continuously improve processes is the way to do that. The company has lost the charm of being a boat builder and does not (yet) have the engineering prowess, processes, and structure of highly functional team.
