Pros

the company culture values good leadership and invests in employees at all levels. employee independence level is high, company designs good quality products, pandemic response has been responsible. There's good mobility available within the company. you see people advance from one role to another over time. the company rightly values competence, past performance, and potential for growth rather than employees having the right degree. As an engineer work life balance is excellent. I'd take this over an overworked tech job anyday.

Cons

the products are high quality and well designed, but BOOOORING. bent sheet metal and aluminum extrusion design are really boring. lighting and construction is a boring industry

Pros

Friendly people, down to earth bosses,

Cons

Mucho trabajo, Poquito dinero literally. They treat workers as easily replaceable. Obvious racial inequality. There are no white workers in the production, mostly latinos and asians only. 90% in upper management are whites.

Pros

very few. As they are owned by a multinational corporation you could possibly use it as a stepping stone to work elsewhere.

Cons

The company is going down. The new leadership is quite poor and dont understand Marketing - specifically branding - and have continually failed. When they don't meet sales goals they decide to lay people off or just fire them. The "leadership" team has no understanding of leadership. The president thinks he's everyone's friend but that's a fallacy. He came into the company and immediately suggested there was an "us vs them" attitude between the office and factory personnel which was untrue.
