Pros

Good benefits. Flexible work hour. Cozy work environment. If you have no ambition in life and is willing to settle for status quo, this is the perfect company for you.

Cons

Little challenge to the works we do around here. The company has become so supplier oriented that there's little in-house engineering/design, instead we engineers are turned into mini program managers tasked with overseeing suppliers and fetching papers and signatures. Worse, all the papers are handled as if it was back in the 60's and 70's, when there were no electronic signature, and a lot of time are wasted by us engineers just to make the report 'look' nice. There's little support from non-engineering functions; a lot of times it's the engineers that are supporting the non-engineering functions.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
