Pros

Respect for people and their families. A good work-life balance. High cash compensation in the Tri-City area.

Cons

There are too many managers relative to the number of engineers available for execution. Senior leadership invests hundreds of millions in projects with compelling stories but poor returns. Excessive safety red tape becomes an excuse to avoid work or causes significant delays. For instance, a simple change like adding water to a recipe can trigger a month-long review.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
