Pros

Pay and benefits for the area were decent.

Cons

Management doesn't care about work life balance. Corporate is deceitful and will do what they can to keep from paying out earned bonuses. Corporate is very top heavy, but yet keeps the amount of people that actually do the work so lean that most are stressed and overworked. If you don't have at least a masters degree, opportunities are very limited. Experience doesn't mean anything.

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.
