Waltonen Engineering Response
1yWaltonen promotes a collaborative environment with no cubicles or walls. This is done to promote communication between the Engineers and Designers. There are approximately 40 or so employees in the room - not 60. But on any particular day there might be 20 to 30 in the room because of the work from home schedules. Employees have the ability to wear headphones if they so choose. Waltonen maintains state of the art equipment including desktops/laptops, oversize monitors and space balls. Reminder emails on policies are an effort to provide clear communication. The Engineering Manager is very laid back with a collaborative work style - definitely not overbearing. There are various levels of Engineering responsibilities - definitely room for growth. The work is defense and most every Engineer that we have hired has come from Automotive with Waltonen training them on defense. Engineers are salaried employees that technically are not eligible for the state mandated sick days but Waltonen extended that benefit to those employees even though it was not a required. Waltonen does have a vacation schedule that increases along with seniority. This "employee" does not seem to really know Waltonen. The real question is why the "employee" did not bring up their issues with their Manager or HR for a discussion on how to resolve the issues instead of putting out an online complaint.
