Pros

maybe the kitchen, drinks & lunch

Cons

leadership does not train new employees or take new time to mentor them. no benefit would be worth it to work here. they take the word robot literally. must work like a robot with no life events to be successful here. a working mother should never apply or interview here. no chance to last more than a month or so.

Pros

Interesting technology and exposure to advanced automation systems. Opportunity to work on complex engineering projects.

Cons

Poor work-life balance with high expectations and little flexibility. Communication from leadership and the general manager was very limited, making it difficult to stay aligned. There was also a lack of transparency around performance expectations and job security. Even when performing well and fully understanding the environment and workflows, employees could be let go without warning or a second chance. This creates unnecessary turnover and results in lost knowledge, requiring time and resources to retrain new engineers who are unfamiliar with the systems.
