Pros
It has a big name in the industrial work, well the brands it supports. Work balance is what you make of it.
Cons
To begin with, once you're hired, you're exposed to the politics that have plagued this company for years. I've been here long enough to see how this company treats employees that have been with the company for 20+ years, like absolute trash. I have literally seen people with mountains of experience let go because "they want younger blood." Not only that, but you can see how much of President Trumps values are instilled in this company. I'll leave the reader to interpret that comment when it comes to skin color and racial profiling. What I've also seen is people pointing fingers at each other, and it's never the senior management taking the blame for poor leadership. Lastly, the leadership love to point out flaws in a review. Now I do believe in constructive criticism to help employees grow, however, the scale and basis you are judged off of is rigged. You can do a 100 things correct all year long, however, they'll find the one thing you may have slipped up on and highlight the entire hour on that one flaw. Most of all, they won't tell you have you need to do to rectify that subjective flaw either. These scores are more based off of how your manager sees you, not about the work that you do. This score that you receive, determines how you will move up in the company and all it takes is one grouchy manager to mess up your entire career within the company. This score affects your bonus, pay, benefits, and career trajectory. If you expect to get a raise, don't. People have gone 5-7 years with any readjustment. A lot of the work is done by contractors because managers don't like hiring if you don't have to. It ultimately eats into their yearly budget because fo poor management. It is also apparent, especially in engineering, that they're actively pushing out older individuals, not directly however because that is against the law. It's always sly comments that the immigrants worker never seems to catch, or when they overspend their budget, they send you off to work for another group, one you never agreed to working for or with people you don't see eye to eye on. I see native Chinese, Indian, and Philippine folks getting screwed over by their predominately white male managers. Senior management also seems unstable. Our CEO left over one weekend. One. Weekend. That has to say something. You have local people at your location but ultimately, you have Italian managers and directors making decisions.
