Pros

Have been with the company more than 5 years. Very good experience to grow with a company like AOI. I like science fiction, so when I see what we are constantly developing are making something only in fiction have gradually become a reality, it is extremely excited. Also, the co-works are very nice. I like it so far.

Cons

Looking forward for more holidays.

Pros

Growing industry, the Sugar Land headquarters is a nice facility.

Cons

The organization does not position itself as caring about the individual development of its individual people they need in order to stay around. The company is exclusively focused on the growth of the organization and meeting a staffing headcount, that it completely disregards the value of putting its actual people first. Then leadership has the audacity to wonder why the attrition is so high, especially from the non exempt departments. People will not stay here and deal with condescending leadership, passive aggressive or not, and inequitable pay for long hours and work task well above the titles you insist on keeping them in. Lack of a nepotism clause, lack of leadership or any real change initiatives, inequitable pay, condescending leadership, treatment of non exempt employees as a second class workforce.
