I used to work for a place like that, and left back in 2012.

Not sure. I've worked for loads of small, relatively low-tech manufacturing companies in the UK, and they all sounds like the description in the link to various degrees. It is a source of constant frustration to me. Sometimes I think I'm in the wrong industry and would be better off elsewhere. But mostly I love it. I love small manufacturing companies and have made it my life's work to drag them kicking and screaming from the 18th century to the 21st century. And this is now what I do. I could move to another manufacturing company but I'm sure I'll be faced with the same challenges and frustrations.
