Pros

Solid benefits package, vacation, nice colleagues, mission focused, incredible technology, invests in their employees

Cons

Leadership doesn't know how to handle change management. Leadership has a chaotic angry energy at the moment and they are acting as if they are incapable of making decisions, but won't empower lower employees. Lower employees lack authority to make decisions but constantly get blamed for things outside their control. Culture was once extremely optimistic but has recently turned very toxic.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
