Kongsberg

Office is beautiful new facility. Social 1/2 hour once a week.  Fresh fruit every day.  Free hot drink machines.  All employees are great to work with. Benefits are top notch.  Company is over 200 years old and so they know how to get thing right.  I picked up mail and distributed.  Greeted customers.  Checked email and answered.  Made reservations for safety courses, hotels, etc.  Answered phones.  Updated company phone list with names, titles, extension & mobile number and birthdate.  Ordered business cards.  Inventoried office supplies and ordered as needed.  Wrote letters.  Created spreadsheets. Made personalized birthday cards.  Best company I ever worked for.  Maritime division serves oil industry.  When oil prices dropped they had to lay off employees.  I was one of those.  Do not begrudge getting laid off, they held off as long as possible but had to let people go.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Kongsberg is the strong focus on innovation, supportive team culture, and excellent work-life balance that truly values employee well-being and growth.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

I personally never experienced much stress at Kongsberg, but like in any corporate environment, occasional pressure from deadlines or coordination across teams can arise though it's well-managed here.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at Kongsberg is collaborative, inclusive, and innovation-driven, with a strong focus on professional growth, teamwork, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance

Tried to apply for another job thinking that this global conglomerate had rehiring policies. Even though I qualified 100% for the position I applied for I never received the required paperwork I was told I'd receive in order to tryout for the position. Another example of poor business practices and how they'er not an "equal opportunity employer". Where was my opportunity to prove I've changed? Im convinced KPS is a horrible place to work. They don't care about you, your just a number to them even though they claim to care. Open Door policy means nothing. Your opinion is never considered. This is the business model you want to follow if you work here. HEAD DOWN, DON'T TALK. Best advice I can give you? Blend in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was a good group of people is about the only thing that was good there the company went downhill not really a good place to work at now that's why I found a better job

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management don't know their head from a hole in the ground they're taking everything away and paying new people more than the people that's been there for 16 years

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work culture do more work for less money and less raise

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worrying about management stabbing in the back

The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing I'm making a difference for the soldiers who use the systems.  The hardest part about the job is keeping focused on the task of doing the same thing day in and day out.  My co-workers are nice and east to get a long with.  They make work nicer.  Management needs some training on how to communicate with subordinates with regard to discipline and just overall communicating company policy.  My typical day is testing weapon stations that come in from the field.  I diagnose problems and recommend repairs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people at Kongsberg are the best part about us. Second best is working for a Norwegian parent company that allows for great work-life balance with a 9/80 schedule.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The 9/80 schedule can be difficult at times with the longer days

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very clean and friendly work environment. Truly believe you are able to do your best to work your way up the management ladder, lots of tenure at the company.

This place has a nice work life balance and the medical benefits were okay, but the management sucked, if you’re not in the click they don’t care about you. If you do get to move up and be the best at something and somebody feels threatened by you, they will run you out/fire you. The pay absolutely sucks, they hire people for way more than what the people that have been there are making. Overall the worst managed company I have worked for. 

Kongsberg has a great in house training program for new field engineers.  They also have an excellent training program for al employees and management that allows them to learn the types of people they are and how to handle themselves and other people in difficult situations.  This training also promotes teamwork and really helps to "gel" the coworkers together.

Get to work before my lead.  Start by logging and punching in on computer.  From there check email to see if anything needs addressed there.  After that start testing the station or component that I have at my station.  Verify station, documentation, and test are complete and correct.  Continue on with another station or component and keep going.

Depending on your job the work can be tedious and micro managed. Management doesn’t listen to the experts in their perspective jobs and likes to micromanage every detail. A lot of clique’s and if you aren’t part of it then you tend to be not listened to.
