Pros

Flexible schedule work/life balance Direct management trusts you to do your job Great operators to work with Colleagues in other departments always willing to help

Cons

Promotions based on behaviors not results Looked at differently if hired from external company Micromanagement from several levels up Seems like layoffs almost every year Constant new initiatives causing alot of red tape to do your job, increased workload for mindless tasks, little to no benefit seen, most of the time initiatives rolled out hastily with no plan Technology becoming more distant than manufacturing

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.
