Pros

Not much other than a paycheck and some experience so you can find a new job later on. Thats about it.

Cons

The worst company I have ever worked for. Starting from day one I got speeches from my managers on why I shouldnt quit so that raised some red flags. Pay was almost insulting compared to the national average for engineers especially considering what they expect of you. There is no regard for employees or their personal lives. Management works people like dogs and there is very little recognition for all of that work. If you work for dematic you are basiclly giving them your life. It is a revolving door of new employees who are worked until they cant take it anymore and then replaced. The core group of older employees clearly are dissatisfied yet they just put up with it and it is reflected in their attitudes. I would never recommend this company to anybody especially if you have hopes of having a life or family.

Pros

Great pay, Good autonomy. Exciting technology. Lots of opportunity to improve and license to make changes, the Grand Rapids office has many great people who built Rapistan who are the best part of working there.

Cons

Ruled by the quarterly results, little transparency in outcomes, little care for individuals, many instances of people being fired or promoted unfairly, lots of politics, constantly trying to look better than they are, No real values to speak of. Pray you have a good manager, they are unlikely to be held accountable
