Pros

It is a good CV looking experience.

Cons

All employees are overworked. Working Overtime is the standard and do not expect to be compensated. Because the pressure is so high, it creates conflicts between departments and most of the days consists in fighting with different departments to get things done. Very temperamental and hostile colleagues which results in a uncomfortable environment in the workplace. It is hard to get things done because top management is too focus in cost reduction and thereby unwilling to invest into tools that will help optimize the processes.

Pros

Everyone is very passionate about the work, open to answering questions and helpful.

Cons

My opinion is that the retention rate is low due to a non-competitive salary when the long hours are factored in.

Pros

You will work with really smart people and have very important insights in design and manufacturing.

Cons

No free food. Although there are free milk, orange juice and coffee. The cafe's hot bar is really not good and expensive.
