Pros
Company was recently sold to a private equity firm called P4G Capital Partners, and with that came new leadership. Most of the leaders worked together at Kaman and they have a “circle” of trust amongst themselves. They have pushed out all leaders who have. more experience with the organization and quite frankly are better at their jobs than the new crop is. They are only concerned with protecting their own and constantly show favoritism to less skilled and knowledgeable employees. They have little to no technical skills, especially as it relates to automation and like to craft the narrative of them “saving” the company when that couldn’t be further from the truth. There have been zero process changes since this new leadership group has started yet they want to take credit for the robust processes that were already in place. The CFO is the worst CFO I’ve ever seen and the most egregious offender of showing favoritism to woefully underperforming employees and the CEO is constantly misled by his direct reports due to his dependence on getting information from them.
Cons
This company is on its way out of business. The new group that has come in to lead it has set the wrong tone and completely ruined the corporate culture. They are obnoxious know-nothing know-it-alls. The CFO is so desperate to hit targets that he OKs the changing of revenue recognition policies and posts questionable JEs to adjust “accruals.” He offers little to absolutely no value as his primary concern is crafting a narrative to his bosses and he also turns a blind eye to poor performing controllers that have no business in the roles they currently occupy simply because he’s worked with them in the past.
