Pros

- Good coworkers. - Good benefits. - Certain managers are good and allow for flexibility.

Cons

- Always hiring sales without hiring enough sales support staff. Workload as a project engineer keeps going up. - Absolutely no room for growth or career progression. You hit a glass ceiling the day you're hired. Run before you realize you've been doing the same thing for the past 10 years and haven't gained any marketable skills. - No appreciation for hard work. Company would brag about record revenue then give subpar raises. - Outdated processes with too many layers. Extremely slow and inefficient. - Poor support from other internal teams. - Viewed as a lesser employee compared to sales. - Pay not keeping up with market. Management have no issue hiring new employees at higher salaries but won't make any effort to retain existing employees.

Pros

Pros were that management was always willing to help me, and guided me through every problem I encountered

Cons

The location is rather isolating, and not much to do in the surrounding area.

Pros

Expecting huge growth in the next five years. CEO and CHRO constantly talk about the massive hiring spree they are about to go on to fill orders already in the pipeline (although I am doubtful that will happen anytime soon because budgets keep getting cut and I have heard of multiple layoffs recently). If that growth does happen though, the career opportunities will be enormous. That career growth potential is the light in the midst of this increasingly difficult environment.

Cons

I have never been a part of a more toxic and dysfunctional HR organization. The HR Executive leadership team talks out of both sides of their mouth regarding wanting to make it a collaborative and centrally focused organization, yet the departments don’t talk to each other, and actually work against each other as if its a giant competition. They act as if they are still an organization of 1,000 employees, yet they are now 10,000 employees. And many pockets of the organization refuse to change into updated, scalable, and more efficient ways of working.
