Pros

Allowed a lot of freedom in direction I wanted to take my work. Wonderful teams and good bottom level managers.

Cons

They lost the culture of the 80's and 90's that made it such a great place to work. Lots of perks but workloads are heavy. Used to be too many layers of management that have recently been cut so perhaps that might make things better.

Layoffs are often and if you don’t move quickly you get caught up in them

Pros

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.
