Pros

The people who suffer with you

Cons

Since NCI and plygem merged to become Cornerstone Building Brands the engineering department has gone downhill. They micromanage and overwork employees. The old leadership at my division quit and so have many of the 10+ year employees, since these changes started happening. The average engineer here now has 3-4years of experience instead of the 10+ years now. They removed bonuses for all employees two years ago despite boasting increased profits every year. They have not been giving raises to keep up with inflation either. It's become an all take and no give relationship. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the positive reviews here are made by the management to make themselves look better.
