Invensys Employer Reviews

Invensys is currently going through a transition phase IMO. The development process is constantly influx and with little to no direction from the management. Invensys has transitioned to the Agile development process, so each day starts with a stand-up to discuss the three items (what you accomplished, what you will do today, and what is blocking).

The – more... individual team members do help and assist each other. Some of the biggest issues with Invensys is that their are individual with significant domain knowledge that do not like to share this information. To me, they feel as if they hold on to this information so they can solve a problem and feel good about solving that issue. In addition, upper management has constantly changed in two and half year period of time, so direction was always changing in terms of development process. Lastly, some of the upper manager (level above your immediate manager) would not fight for team and was basically a yes man.

Most of the future development will be developed elsewhere and managed in-house, so if you are looking to do development it is best to look elsewhere. – less

My typical day begins with reviewing customer emails from all over the world. A sales agent will declare an order for creation, or ask me product related questions. I will provide information to the best of my knowledge, otherwise contact our engineering/materials/purchasing department for further information. I learned a lot from management, one thing – more... I would point out is confidence and strength in the face of adversity. My co-workers are some of the nicest and smartest people that I have met. All of my co-workers are very knowledgable in the products that we provide. The hardest part of my job, is the lack of growth opportunities. The most enjoyable part of my job is the opportunity to communicate and create relationships with people from all parts of the world. – less

I would work a 9 or 10 hour day, sometimes more, because I was enjoying what I was doing and the time would just fly by. I learned how to manage people to help them achieve success and grow in their careers. My co-workers were great because they were willing to do whatever it took to learn and get the job done. The hardest part of the job was having – more... to let someone go because no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't handle it. The most enjoyable was seeing their happiness when they had\ success either on their own on with the help of myself or other team members – less

Lot of bad apples that run everything. pretty sad. Company has great products. Management just turns their heads to any problems. Most of the employees leave the company out of frustration and then come back to get a better position and big salary increase.

Easy atmosphere, close to home, having them move to to any shift when they wanted not good.

Company management initially made some very lofty promises that were enticing; then when their over commitments/miscalculation caught up with them, it was the employees who pay the price, making the ultimate sacrifice (a.k.a. getting the boot). I initially had respect for them, but after being manhandled, if I were you I'd reconsider and think twice.

This was a great place to work. They offered a lot of training classes.
I was sent to Microsoft computer classes, Six Signa training, and managment classes. These classes were done during working hours. My co-workers were great to work with. It was a very team oriented work force. The hardest part of the job was my job was out sourced in 2001.

I love my job and the benefits are great. My coworkers are very friendly and helpful. I started my career with this company and having nothing but the utmost respect for them.

Great co-workers.

Had an opportunity to go to work in France, but my boss ruled that out due to expense considerations.

Great company for anyone who has experience in Computer Information Systems, Application Engineering, Nuclear Engineering and Requirement Engineering.

I'd operate the overhead crane while my co-worker would signal me when he was ready to move a load of metal to the machine or bin, I learned that in order to get paid the big bucks you have to do the work as well. My boss was good to me so I could get my raises as they came up. The people in this company were like family, people helping people.
