Pros

Comfortable environment, laid back atmosphere. Most boss's primary concern is to stay under the radar and maintain the status quo, which makes things easy if you don't do anything stupid.

Cons

Not a progressive company, fairly static in nature and almost a lazy work ethic. Promotions infrequent and almost all employees leave if they desire to reach for better things for their career.

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.
