Pros

Truly the most diverse workplace I've ever been a part of. Lots of hours are available as well.

Cons

Poorly managed and disorganized with systemic issues relating to inefficiencies in various processes which result many departments constantly either being behind schedule, or having absolutely nothing to do. Departments are chronically understaffed, meaning one person will often do the work of two or more. Mandatory overtime is a constant, and weekends off almost seem more like a rare gift than the default. Some of the facilities lack efficient AC, and get punishingly hot in the summer, especially when wearing required personal protective equipment. Equipment regularly breaks down for hours if not days, with little to no recourse on the part of staff to address the issue. Higher ups are unable to meet the demands of their contracts with customers, and will terminate low-level positions when contracts inevitably get pulled. This only serves to exacerbate staffing issues. Internal politics run rampant. You will not be promoted if you do not play the game. Some people in positions of power absolutely should not be. You WILL feel disenfranchised, unheard, and unimportant.

Pros

This company seems to put effort into onboarding during the first couple of days. There are some really talented people working here. There is a soda machine.

Cons

The culture demonstrates a lack of trust between management and the team. Continuous improvement is not encouraged and will be considered threatening. The general scheme is to be complacent, and accept that is how GRAM does things. Also be prepared for assignments that make no sense and ambiguous expectations. Please watch out as validation employees work A LOT of off shift schedules as they need 24/7 coverage. You could very much be assigned to work third shift for an entire month.
