At this stage in my career, and as a mom juggling family life, finding the right workplace is everything. I’ve been with the company for few years now, new leadership is more engaged and approachable—a refreshing change from what I've experienced in the past. Overall, it's a good place to work if you need a healthy balance of stability and continued growth. The environment here is genuinely laid-back, and the flexibility is an absolute blessing when you have kids. They treat you like an adult, so you can do your job well without sacrificing family time. I really enjoy what I do here, thanks to a great management team that supports your professional development without running you into the ground.

Headwall Photonics is a great company to work for and they're definitely growing. They offer a very flexible work schedule as long as you complete your 40 hours a week. There will be periods of unlimited overtime but as soon as that goes away you are only allowed to work 40 hours a week maximum. Overall it's actually a great place to work with fun and interesting coworkers, it's a very specialized field of work and you get to work with different and interesting technologies.

Headwall provides spectral imaging technology for applications such as crop science, medical/biotech, inspection of food products, and more. This gives me an opportunity for variety in terms of marketing messages. In the role I serve two customers: external and internal. The sale team is my external customer, but I'm always communicating value propositions and technical benefits to those on the outside who purchase our products. Ours is a small company of about 60 people, which means everyone wears many hats.

A really great place to work. Everyone was always willing to share knowledge and expertise and they really appreciate someone who does quality work and let you know it.
The only con I experienced was that the CEO when I started was far more preoccupied with selling the company than running it and that hurt a lot of productivity.
One other thing that stood out was the lack of any clear work instructions -they seemed to be written by people who didn't do the jobs they described most of the time. But, because of the supportive environment around you it's not hard to get help when you need it.


After several years here, I can confidently say the company is moving in a positive direction. The new leadership is much more engaged and approachable than in the past, which has had a great impact on team morale. The environment is laid-back and flexible, the coworkers are great, and the management team truly supports your development. It’s a solid place to work if you value a balance of stability and growth.

As the year came to a close, we ended on a strong note, performing at a level that should have satisfied both the CEO and upper management. Yet, despite our success, we were hit with unexpected layoffs and a pay freeze, all without any explanation. The CEO remains silent. Given these circumstances, I'm concerned about the impact this will have on employees and productivity moving forward.

Everyone worked hard and communication was good.
meetings once a week for production.
 We had a very diverse company for the mixed cultures.
  Lighting could of been improved, hard to see the optics.
  We had holiday parties that were fun.

Headwall has very interesting technology and you often get a chance to learn something regardless of the position you hold in the company. The leadership team lacks focus and the target is always changing, which leads to frustration for all team members. Overall a nice place to work and there are many great people to work with. 

Very interesting technology and so many intelligent people willing to share their knowledge and help wherever they can. Quality of work was prioritized & the team was always looking for ways to continuously improve. Work to life balance was pretty good and the schedule is flexible. 

Been with the company for a few years now. With the recent merge, it's has gotten better. I enjoy what I do and the coworkers and management are great as well. Very relaxed work environment. I like working here.
