It's nice you are able to wear regular comfortable clothes in a temperature controlled building and the work is not too physically strenuous. That is about the extent of the positives. 

If you overperform they expect that same work every day. If you have good ideas or ways to improve the business they disregard every word unless you're some higher title or have been there for many years. 

Most jobs would love when their employee begs for overtime or is always asking for more work or to learn new things. Not this job. I have asked my supervisor to be trained in as much as possible but you dont have any incentive to do so and if you don't learn anything new they won't give you smaller raises outside the yearly ones. 

Supervisors have no interest in learning anything about the job you do so it takes twice as long to explain a problem you may be having because they don't understand the jargon or can't visualize the item you're working on. 

Management changes too often so you're always dealing with a new person who knows nothing about your job. 

Pay doesn't increase even close to inflation. Working a full-time job with occasional overtime should allow me to afford to live with a little extra. I can barely afford my bills, often forgoing groceries to afford rent and utilities. 

Management does NOT take verbal abuse seriously. It took nearly a year of complaining to management with no results until finally filing an ethics complaint for the abuse to stop. The abuser simply got a slap on the wrist. 

If we make products for Military and Pharma, we should be able to get more raises or paid more to begin with. 

Working at Stellant, you quickly learn that mostly all of the management team, including the lone HR individual, are friends outside of work and only truly reward individuals that are within their circle. 

Management changes multiple times a year, and it is abundantly clear that the well-being and atmosphere for their employees is not a priority. The only concern the current GM and senior staff has is money management and appeasing ownership. Too often decisions are made without proper planning, preparation, or an action plan. It has backfired severely in recent years and is ongoing. With the constant turnover of management, there is a major lack of standard operating procedures and/or training for everyone. 

There are much more stable, high-paying, non-toxic manufacturing companies locally that are better employers than Stellant. Do not work here. 

1st thing I would like to say is that this specific location (don't want say current company name  because it's been rebranded many times) needs a lot of work. The culture in there is pretty bad. Place does have union but is controlled by union representatives that are greedy and needy and are backed by supervisors for their own benefit. New employees have no chance to succeed because older workers think you're going to take their job or overtime away so they set you up for failure. I saw many workers  and even engineers leave the company in my short period of time I was there.  I don't understand companies like this, you should be taking care of your employees they are the ones pushing the workload not the CEO, not supervisors, etc..I can keep typing for hours but I need to stop here. Good luck!

High quality and reliability products for space and terrestrial applications.  Designing and building these product presents many challenges.  A good place for people with good analytical problem solving  skills.  Lots of interesting problems to solve.   Company is now positioned like a large start-up after separating from L3-Harris, which has both pro's and con's.  Pro: upper management has more agility to respond to customer and market conditions.  Con: the company still operates with all the bureaucracy of a large corporation left over from when it was part of one.  Overall its a great place to work and hopefully will become more efficiency in the coming years.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Overtime, PTO, and raises were nice.

Unprofessional management that gossip worse than some employees.  Favoritism amongst employees.  Employees who create hostile work environment and never get reprimanded for negative behavior 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Negative,  hostile and stressful

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It would start out okay but turn horrible pretty quickly because certain employees pick and gossip and make you feel like bad for just trying to do a good job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working 9/80 every other Friday off  nothing good for this company  some leaders always complain about everything just that also no work be ready to go back home 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stressful is leaders always complaining and we don’t have anything to do hy guys go home 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture zero  nothing about it 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go start if we have jobs if we don’t go home and you will used your vacation time to cover time you stay home

The company is a spin off of L3Harris.  It has gone through a lot of change recently.  Feels like a combination of start up and classic defense industry with good and bad from both.  It is definitely a work in progress.  If you are a go getter and want to have impact, good place.  If looking for bureaucracy and things being clear/working perfectly each time, this is not the place for you.  
Because of smaller size, much more flexible in what you can do here like development/growth because of the various needs - start up like that way.  But it is in defense, so still has regulations/rules which is good and bad.  

Loyal and hard working techs who care and there is a sense of family which is nice.   PTO and 9/80 schedule is what keeps people there.   You do hear how amazing the company was decades ago.  Heard they are getting rid of the generous PTO soon.  Too many managers that don’t do or know enough on departments they manage, good ole boys club, they love to throw people under the bus. No real room to grow no matter how hard you work and make a difference because of the good ole boys club mentality.  You are not trained and really are not set up to succeed, big sense of fending for your self and set up to fail.  

Stellant has a strong history in the industry and a lot of promise for things to come. As a relatively new stand-alone company there has been quite a bit of leadership change and occasionally the communication is unclear as to vision. The company has afforded me a lot of flexibility in my role which is greatly appreciated. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing I did not enjoy my time as an Stellant employee 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Coming into work dealing with no it all entitled people all day

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic! It was like being in High school all over again

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring! I didn’t have any chance for advancement
