Pros

It is hiring a lot of trainees, giving them starting work experience. It depends on department you get into, some are terrible, some are great. Mine is not that good. People very rarely stay overtime (which is almost never paid), although on the other side i heard some departments work even over weekends. Atmosphere is casual, not very stressful, which makes it good for trainees.

Cons

Low motivation in general, salaries are low, no space for advancement. Managment is unprofessional and don't care about individuals as for the project. Another bad side is that as individual your work and effort will not be seen or appreciated. In the last year due to "recession" all team building days, kick offs, company day, and other similar event are cancelled, and there is very little chance you will get send to some additional training (certificates etc).

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
