Do Not Consider Employment Here

Pros

Instead of enhancing compensation based on performance, their solution is to nominate three individuals for $100 Amazon gift cards...

Cons

I strongly discourage considering employment with this company. The leadership team consistently demonstrates a concerning lack of professionalism, rationality, and stability. Despite repeated promises from management that conditions will improve, they have consistently failed to deliver on these assurances. During the job interview process, I, along with many others, were flat out lied to about the true nature of the job responsibilities and the initially promised benefits. What's particularly troubling is that at one point, a staggering 54% of the engineering team, excluding management, actively sought alternative job opportunities. The departure of three out of ten full time engineers within 3 days serves as a stark illustration of the underlying issues within the organization. Success within this organization appears to be contingent upon either an excessive commitment of over 50 hours per week or are in an active relationship with the President. This pattern of instability and deception from management has created a toxic work environment that should be approached with extreme caution.

Pros

My experience at IRIS Factory Automation has been rather disappointing. While the company does engage in interesting automation projects and offers decent pay, the overall work environment is marred by serious issues, primarily stemming from the owner and management. Exciting Automation Projects: IRIS Factory Automation is involved in some intriguing automation projects that can be quite engaging for employees who are passionate about the field. Decent Pay: The compensation at the company is competitive, which is a positive aspect for those who value financial stability.

Cons

Toxic Management: The owner and management team have created a toxic work environment that resembles high school clique behavior. This has led to an unpleasant and unprofessional atmosphere. Lack of Boundaries: Boundaries are routinely crossed at IRIS Factory Automation, making it uncomfortable and difficult to focus on work. The owner's tendency to discipline staff openly, in front of colleagues, only exacerbates this issue. Resistance to Change: The management's refusal to address these problems is particularly concerning. Their close familial ties with the owner seem to create a lack of accountability and a reluctance to implement necessary changes. Ethical Concerns: The personal relationship between the owner and department head raises questions about both business and personal ethics within the company. This could potentially lead to conflicts of interest and favoritism. Questionable Reviews: It's worth noting that some of the positive reviews about the company may not be entirely genuine. They might be coming from management, which further undermines the credibility of the company's online reputation. In summary, while IRIS Factory Automation does have interesting automation projects and competitive pay, the toxic workplace culture, resistance to change, and ethical concerns make it a challenging place to work. Prospective employees should be cautious and consider these factors when evaluating opportunities within the company.
