Huge cultural difference between production line and office work - Production Builder I Penumbra Employee Review

High level of politics and maneuvering for such a simple job. Culture on the floor reminds me of middle school, with it's petty politics and "in"/"out" groups. Some grown adults act like children. Low level harassment between builders observed on a daily basis. Lacking in a culture of direct communication and conflict resolution. Hard to resolve problems with people with bad English skills. Sickness spreads easily on the production floor. Good clean room practices are not enforced. Very bureaucratic and impersonal company structure/interview process.
