Good people to work with in engineering No dress-code Generally casual atmosphere in engineering They appear to be growing strong and have not had a layoff or furlough in a couple of years

Cons

Poor labor practices in manufacturing operations (long temp-to-hire process) Poor review, promotion, and raise structure ~50 hours per week mandatory (poor work-life balance) Overly compartmentalized Slightly below industry average for wages and benefits (and getting worse: health insurance gets worse every year, raises are very small)

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
