Pros

Cognex has some cutting edge product and great coworker that you work with.

Cons

The finance department is a mess. Middle/upper management team has been there for 10+ years and are still using the same methodology as 10+years ago to work and manage team. This is a huge problem. They refused to accept new ideas. Like the other post mentioned, when something happens they will blame on the low level employees which good managers don’t do. And on the other hand with their upper managers they will try to cover the problem and hide the issues under the carpet. A lot of employees are scared to go to work because of making a small mistake could get them In trouble. The managers don’t try to improve the process to minimize the mistakes but simply blame on the low level employees. HR department is just a figure, when people complain to HR they will always favor the managers’ side and not do anything to improve the situation. Many many turnovers in the finance department. People are not happy at all. If you ever interview there please be aware.
