s#@! show - Anonymous employee Architectural Lighting Works Employee Review

Great teammates, great culture. Company has a clear strategy and shares it with the team, including real-time updates on performance and challenges. ALW managed the past two years very well and kept the entire team motivated through remote working and market conditions.

There is always room for improvement, but there are no cons for me to list.

-Core ALW team members are very hard working even through the mis-communications and issues between upper management. -Very neat products, highly customizable -Cool office space

-The biggest issue at hand is stemming from the CEO and upper management themselves. At times, it seems like there is no direction or goal to meet. When there is, if there is, the goals and company directions are not layed out to the rest of the team members. It feels like upper management has some sort of ulterior motive/plan. It also doesn't feel like this will be changing anytime soon. -ALW through the transitional period was chaotic and a huge mess. There was no planning and organization on any aspect of the transition besides the procurement and purchasing of the new office and it's supplies. -CEO and upper management does intensive micro-management on simple tasks. Other tasks are given with little or no direction so employees are not sure what to produce. -CEO and upper management puts down rules and policies but doesn't follow it themselves. Employees then get punished if the project doesn't turn out how the customer wanted even though the employees followed the rules and policies that were previously set.
