Pros

The day to day workers are dedicated and considerate people who are passionate.

Cons

There is a complete lack of unified leadership and a huge disconnect between how things are done and what the procedures require. There is also so much history of bad decisions and cleanup required that no one can ever catch a breath, let alone train anyone appropriately. They rely on read and accept training for everything with no follow checks to see if it’s comprehended. Leadership is not aligned on priorities and has created a dysfunctional culture and burnt out talent. They dance their way out of audits and add bandaid on top of bandaid without ever addressing the elephant in the company.

Pros

401K Work from home options

Cons

I joined as an SME in my field and found myself in total chaos. The project was led by people who had never developed an electronic device, any product whatsoever. Still, instead of listening to SMEs, they had a huge ego and pushed their agenda constantly. With a lot of distractions, discrimination, and disrespect for almost two years, I stayed there. The project took forever to develop because of the lack of experience and the huge ego of those who led it. The company underwent 3-4 reconstructions during my stay, two CEO changes, and two rounds of layoffs, including the third, when I was laid off. You can guess who stayed in the company - those who led the project and caused the chaos. Stay away from them.
