Pros

Strategy appears to be working and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Lots of really nice people who are very collaborative and truly care about the company.

Cons

Too many layoffs year over year. Its exhausting and disheartening. Performance isn't actually judged by what you deliver but rather who likes you. Management isn't held accountable and throws people under the bus to save themselves.

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.
