Pros

- Work finishes at 5 - Dental and private health care

Cons

- Despite the job being advertised as requiring technical expertise or a relevant degree, none is actually needed or valued in practice. - Recent hires display a lack of motivation and frequently avoid contributing meaningfully to the workload. Always the same people holding the bag. - Management are totally lost, I do not understand their purpose, as it certainly is not leading, this goes from Director down. - False promises is the motto of the department, say anything to get you in the door -Zero room to grow, get experiences of new technologies or move teams. - Horrible shifts and hours - Zero Culture in the company, no sports and socials, entire place is so dry and without personality. - Most people you engage with are not nice people and lack basic communication skills

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
