Pros

Work-life balance, a lot of free time

Cons

Terrible ways of working. Everything is so slow, people compete with each other and ignore each others work in the same time. They try to invent a wheel over and over again. You will find little respect and little recognition, especially if you are young or if you are a woman and I suspect many other if's. Lack of management, and management is overall not qualified for such positions, managers are selected internally and usually people apply for management positions for a slightly better salary after being a researcher or engineer and having no interest in managing people. Top-management and employees are in two different worlds, people don't speak up here and don't have a right to be heard. They work here because they have kids, loans, cars and no will to take control of their life. They do patents for every sneeze, they are professional in creating nothing out of nothing. No work and no interesting projects. There are people working here for 20 years and they are completely brain-washed. They can sit and smile when everything is falling apart around them saying "Guys, we are doing great!".

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
