Pros

Fair salary and great perks Fantastic opportunities for development: learning new skills or expanding current ones Flexible time depending who your manager is Great mentoring programs not sure about the programs' results

Cons

Extremely political culture, don't you dare to voice your opinion if it is contrary to your manager or other superior Forget about being treated fairly if involved in any conflict. It is all about what will make your manager look good or save face If you want to survive do not take actions personally (even if they are). Be prepare to be alright being backstabbed and deceived. Devious and credit taking fellows are the norm

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
