Pros

Strong benefits package, great products, smart colleagues

Cons

The culture is best described as ultra-competitive, gossipy, and toxic. Team members are constantly vying for advancement at the expense of others, resorting to deceit and backstabbing to climb the corporate ladder. Trust among colleagues is virtually nonexistent, as individuals are willing to throw others under the bus to save themselves from potential layoffs. Folks don’t perform best under these conditions and I see a lot of burn out on my team. Additionally, there is a serious underrepresentation of women and minorities within the organization. I have not seen or heard of any efforts to improve diversity and culture. I would caution anyone considering employment here to carefully evaluate whether they are willing to tolerate such a toxic and unhealthy work environment.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Extremely talented workforce. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies. Fast-paced environment with meaningful work. Opportunities to learn like you wouldn't believe.

Cons

Heavy reliance on tribal knowledge in some areas. Documentation and standardized work instructions can be limited. Some processes depend on experienced employees rather than formal SOPs and travelers. Learning curve can be steep for new hires.

Pros

Great pay for the most part, and the engineers are awesome.

Cons

When something is too good to be true, it’s too good to be true for a reason. I would not accept this job on contract unless you are unemployed, don’t consider it if you are employed. The company is growing and having leadership level changes in the TA realm and boy you can tell. Your job is NOT safe on contract and is not a guarantee to go even 6 months. Everyone is extremely lax and chill on the interviews and the pay is great isn’t it?? Well that’s alll a facade, no matter if you’re doing well or not.
