Pros

Friendly co workers, It is a big company with a lot of divisions, there is some degree of job security but that seems to be a virtue not for a long period of time depending on the company's growth and investment in China.

Cons

Company seems to struggle to go beyond being an over grown machine shop. New ideas generally ignored and technology is not utilized to make day to day activities more efficient. Yearly raise is usually around 1 to 1.5% and its getting more challenging to meet with management expectations to meet up for a satisfactory bonus pay. Life work balance is challenging as management push more work on people without figuring out how to run their business efficiently. It could get really stressful at times for work to be finished without sufficient time given for the complexity of the projects.
