Pros

The company is growing and there is a lot of opportunity to add real value. There have been many improvements and changes made in the past year for the better. The company is making real efforts around DE&I and improving the culture. These things do not change overnight but progress is being made and it is starting to show.

Cons

Sr. leadership needs to be more visible and in touch with their employees. There is a lot of focus on the customer but the c-suite seems to take for granted their employees are a huge reason the customer is happy.

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.
