Trojan Technologies

My experience at Trojan Tech has been nothing short of exhausting and disheartening. This is a company that talks a lot about valuing employees, but in reality, does the exact opposite.

The work culture is incredibly toxic. There’s a constant undercurrent of stress, blame-shifting, and unhealthy competition fueled by terrible office politics. Instead of collaboration, you’re left navigating egos and favoritism just to get through the day.

HR is especially disappointing. They present themselves as supportive, but when it actually matters, they are completely ineffective. Concerns are brushed aside, and nothing meaningful is ever addressed. It feels more like they exist to protect management than to support employees.

Management is stuck in an outdated mindset. There’s no innovation in how teams are run, no openness to feedback, and no willingness to adapt. You’re expected to follow the same inefficient processes without question, even when they clearly don’t work.

One of the worst aspects is the workload. You are routinely expected to do the job of two people, sometimes more, with zero additional compensation. Promises of raises or “future revisions” are constantly dangled in front of you but never materialize. Instead, they quietly pile on more responsibilities while keeping your pay the same.

Recognition is superficial at best. They’ll “appreciate” you with words, but it’s hollow. There’s no real support, no financial acknowledgment, and no effort to improve your situation. It becomes clear very quickly that they don’t genuinely care about their employees.

Career growth is practically nonexistent. You get stuck in your department with no real opportunities to move or develop unless you completely change departments and even that is unnecessarily difficult.

Overall, this is a place that will overwork you, underpay you, and leave you feeling undervalued. I would strongly caution anyone considering working here.

I know my review does come across as negative but I have to stress it wasn't all bad during my time at Trojan. For one they're a huge company with many opportunities to learn or change into different roles. My direct manager and team were amazing, truthfully leaving them was the hardest part about quitting my job here. I started there in mid 2020 and it didn't take long to see the questionable decision making by management become apparent. First by hastily moving a part of the business up from the US which upset many of thier major customer base, then worsened by an issue with getting goods across the border. Finger pointing and overpromising and underdelivering by management led to blame being felt/taken by many workers causing more stress and subsequent resignations than I've seen in such a short period of time. Management had training sessions to help with these issues but it ended up just making everyone feel stupid and incompetent. Absolutely horrible feeling. In addition to knee jerk reactions and lack of proper consulting with departments on these issues made everything worse than it already was. I'm shocked a company as big as this can't seem to figure out how to communicate with people better. They need to get back to their roots to realize what made them a great company in the first place because they've really lost their way and they'll keep losing really great people if it continues.

Management has changed often and drastically over the last few years. Trojan used to have an awesome family-like culture but that’s been all but eliminated. 

Expect long hours, lower end comp and don’t expect your American bosses to care about your values or expectations. 

Worked there when it was great. Worked there when it was one of the worst places I’ve worked. Just go in with your eyes open. 

I understand the need for a job but my old job is currently available at Trojan and has been advertise for months and I’d rather be unemployed than go back to it. That might be a useful insight. 

The first couple years of my employment was typical, but once Danaher started digging in too much, the environment changed drastically. Micromanaging, trying to produce more with less, hardly ever hiring contract workers. Typically, quarter ends were the busiest, lately, every month is driven like a quarter end and every friday as a month end. They say the customer matters, but when it comes to revenue, they push and force the sites to accept whether ready or not. Bottom line is greed trumps all. 

Trojan Technologies is a great place to develop skills like research in waste-water treatment area. The different topics are really challenging also because you have to deal sometimes with the customers therefore time is essential to produce a professional job.
Most of the people are friendly and there is in most of the cases a collaborative environment. The big cons is the difficulty to hire new people.

The company has stable financial performance and is extremely KPI driven. Advancement can be very difficult when starting at Trojan and the industry can be difficult to learn. Engineers and MBAs can do extremely well at Trojan, once they break through to the management level. Unfortunately it seems to be incredibly difficult to get there unless you are an outside hire or spend 10+ years with the business. 

I completed a co-op placement at Trojan Technologies. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The team working environment at Trojan is very strong and the employee morale was high. I can't say anything negative about my experience and most of the staff I met had 10+ years there which says a lot for any company.

Now a US affiliate with a demanding, unfair, corporate culture. Under staffed, over worked, dismissive, irresponsible management and HR. All the good staff left over the last few years. No where near the company it was. Poor quality control, unhappy clients, inadequately trained techs and staff. Avoid. 

Many people I work with have been very helpful and friendly. The work I do is quite repetitive as it seems to take a while before you get moved around and cross trained, all depends on how busy the environment is. The team leaders have taken time to help me build my foundations and show me the ropes.

Although the work was interesting, great experience, too much office gossip. Only 1/2 hour lunch, while others had many smoke breaks. But free parking
