Lean is the name of the game.

Pros

Large company. If you can make it there you can make it anywhere. Great opportunity to enhance ones skill set. Looks great on a resume. If you are a numbers person, this is the place to be.

Cons

Dysfunctional culture at best. So focused on lean that everyone is extraordinarily overworked. People really don't seem to care about each other. It's very much about covering yourself and it's usually at the expense of others. So much analysis and reporting and numbers that have to be reported back but no one has the time to look at the people or issues behind those numbers. Work life balance is a fairy tale. You can't work enough there. Bottom line, no one really cares about you... at all.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to grow and advance if you are willing to put in the work and commit.

Cons

Some company initiatives seem to conflict with the greater good, they tend to focus to much on data and analytics instead of looking at things from other perspectives.

Worst Place for Engineers to Work

Product development engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

On paper this looks like a good job for a Mechanical or Materials engineer because they'll be dealing with mechanisms and new materials.

Cons

However there was motivation for innovation and upper management was focused on ringing every drop from that dam Damon line. People were nice enough, but just pretty dressed because they all see the end coming and don't have enough energy to get off the boat
