      Pros

      Accountability comes with authority, experience and ideas are valued, people are eager to contribute their experience and there is NO politics or backbiting

      Cons

      Not a technology leader and reluctant to make investments, extremely conservative - not conducive to thinking big or out of the box

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many lifetime employees, most people willing to help, good benefits package compared to others, stable business

      Cons

      Management would rather bring in new outside employees rather then promote from within. Even promotions rarely match a decent salary for the industry. The environment is strict, structured, shirt and tie, many tiers of management

      Bourns was not the right company

      Senior applications engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not much to talk about. They are suited for distribution well - that is were the company energy goes.

      Cons

      The company is sitting on very old passive and some active technologies with no vision to change and transform. The management is looking in money saving every day. They have no real backbone engineering structure and they don’t listen as well. Very short term goals oriented management. They claimed that they were a diverse company but the reality was different. They run the company with old facilities from the 60s. The Bourns family people were nice but the president and the VPs were no good for a competitive market and ever changing world.
