Pros

Successful company; have some good products

Cons

They don't practice what they preach in their policies. 'Treating employees with dignity and respect is a myth and doesn't happen'. Departing employees are treated disgracefully. There are no leaders, hence there is no leadership! Far too many individual contributors only interested in themselves.

Pros

Lower level groups were great to work with. The job itself was routine enough that it was easy to learn. Its a great entry job as you have to pick up many skills in a short period of time.

Cons

Management has no idea what it takes to do the tasks they ask of us with little time. Everything is on rush and half the equipment is outdated and constantly failing. New equipment takes forever to validate, if it ever does. You're constantly asked to help other understaffed groups, even if yours is also understaffed. Communication does not go far with upper management as most of them are also overloaded with work and don't actually understand what is needed for jobs to be done.
