Anyone ever work there? I have roughly zero intentions of leaving Praxair within the next 4 years, but every once in a while I cruise the job postings for WNY and found an interesting one at Greatbatch today.
I’m just wondering what the place is like, what kind of corporate culture they’ve got going on, etc. This particular job is at their manufacturing facility in Alden, but I’m just generally interested in the company as a whole.
Tell me your stories! :tup:

They make IC’s, right? Not a bad company to work for from what I have heard. I had a former boss move there and he had nothing but good things to say after the fact.

Do you want his number so you can call him and give him updates on what he should post? Maybe just hearing his voice your life will be fulfilled:suicide:
