Pros

Salary is acceptable. Projects I've worked on have been multi-disciplinary, technically challenging, and overall interesting to work on.

Cons

The leadership is tanking this company. I never knew this level of low morale was even possible. Most attribute it to the insatiable greed of the outgoing CEO. He is trying to ensure his retirement comfort through the furloughs, layoffs, reduction in benefits, salary freezes, etc., that have been going on for years now. The company is doing well, but he is milking every dollar for the bottom line he can with these unsustainable hardships on the employees. I can't imagine there has ever been a company that has cared less about their employees. Also, management cares more about the number of overtime hours you put in, rather than any output of value or quality of work. This contributes to a terrible work culture and general lack of work-life balance.

Pros

Some genuinely nice coworkers, that deserve better. Sometimes provide free food BUT consists of unhealthy options.

Cons

Extremely poor communication from management. Non existent most of time. When they do communicate, you are met w/ lies. Care about profit/numbers at the expense of employee health. Impossible production expectations without enough personnel. Management questions everyone but themselves. Equipment shortage and issues impact production as well. But blame is placed on production staff. Toxic coworkers that will get on the case of new workers for not being robots that operate non-stop. Depressing and loud environment, along w/ possible chemical exposure. Low pay and small raises. HR cares about business needs, not individuals. Stretching required every hour. Optional at first, but then management started enforcing. Computers and systems always slow and having issues. Language barrier. Diversity is great, but this can cause miscommunication w/ those who don't speak good English.
