Pros

Free breakfast and lunch every day and a full coffee bar onsite that is free.

Cons

Company Culture does not exist. Company has no work life balance. If you are not perfect they will get rid of you without warning. Good luck feeing happy at this company or connecting with anyone, esp if you are working for the people at the top. Very dissappointing!

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.
