Pros

Decent pay, 3 weeks vacation pto

Cons

Very little support from engineers. Designers expected to identify all criteria needed to design a tool. No flex time. Set hours. If you deviate from your set shift you are penalized. Yes they have a point system. If you do not schedule your day off at least a day ahead of time you get a point. No sick or personal days. You call in sick it is unexcused and you get a point. I hate working here because of the attendance policy. I like working flexible hours if you come in half hour late you stay half hour later. Not here you get a point for early or late departures. As a business professional you have to punch a time clock. Engineers and Designers sit in the middle of the shop in a second floor pre fab room. No office space at all. No bathroom. You have to walk halfway across shop for bathroom and only 3 stalls for hundreds of people. This place is always hiring cause people are always leaving.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
