Pros

Team is outstanding, the people working there are great to work with on the human aspect, great benefits, salary was really good as well

Cons

horrible growth plan, sold way too much for what they could deliver on, lies to customers all the time and forbides employees from telling the truth, promised 37.5 hours per week but nobody can do this.

Pros

Responsible company Free coffee and fruits Flexible work hours Great installations (ergonomic chairs and desks) It was a great environment to work before the decline

Cons

Poor management. They don’t have a clue what they are doing. Wrong people with questionable abilities and experience are promoted. If you are a sucker, then you have a chance. Higher management doesn’t listen to anybody. They are drowning in their own arrogance. Internal communication and transparency doesn’t exist.

Never worked in such an unstable environment

Pros

lads on the floor were great

Cons

- 3 mass layoffs within 18 months - management never takes responsibility for any actions. the layoffs were a direct result of poor management decisions, yet ordinary workers were forced to re-loan their houses - each layoff poorly handled. it was absolutely humiliating for staff to walk down the corridor with their box of items and everyone watching them. - work environment was very negative - poor teamwork between global sites. They are four smaller factories rather than one large organization with one goal. - dishonest human resources area. They will say anything to hire you then you will get your bonus cut and your pay 'rise' will be 0% or 1% so you actually get poorer working there - not a place to make a career. no room for professional growth. If you get a promotion it will be a fancy new title and more work only. There will be no financial reward to go with it. So you do more work with more pressure for the same pay - very little incentive to stay, a lot of your staff will get taken by other companies because of better salaries - vp changing every few months.
