Pros

Provides automated direct deposit paycheck every two weeks Free coffee in breakroom

Cons

Engineering Chiefs and Middle Management do not get paid overtime and do not qualify for premium pay for overseas assignments which can be extensive since most work is outside the US in COVID hot spots. Senior Management are former military and non technical. Hence, company organization follows a top down, rigid, Theory X model. No formal work-from-home policy. No defined severance policy. Small Japanese style cubicles provide a cramped and trapped feeling. Poor company ethics (Reference Kobe Steel Data Fraud scandal). No formal bonus program (not percentage based). Don't expect much. No signing bonus for engineers. Stagnant company growth translates to poor career advancement opportunities. Expect travel to 3rd world countries for extended time. Travel time pay not allowed.

Pros

When things are busy, there is plenty of work if you are hungry. Paid OT is available for most positions. Good vacation, good 401k, half-day Fridays!

Cons

Much of the technical work involves copy and pasting (not indicative of the job description). Employees aren’t interested in improving their product because they don’t have the time or resources to make changes. Midrex is owned by Japanese and run like Toyota (lean). There is little work/life balance for those who contribute. Travel is excessive, and to places referred to as “international prison.”

Pros

If you're hard-working, dedicated, and get the job done, you can go places...literally. If you want to claim a check every two weeks, it's not going to be a good long-term relationship. Great compensation and benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

Delicate work-life balance, some responsibility fuzziness.
