Pros

Some coworkers/team members were amazing

Cons

Everyone in management is male and I was literally told (as a woman) to never speak on a meeting again, because the site head didn’t want to hear what a woman had to say. Leadership chooses lower level management as scapegoats and fires them to cover for their own poor decisions. This happened to me and everyone knew it was happening, to the point that the HR manager appealed the termination and almost got himself fired in the process. My boss cried over what happened to me. All because the site leader didn’t listen to our recommendations and feedback on what we were seeing in product testing and continued to push manufacturing, even though a faulty part led to multiple days worth of product being produced that didn’t meet specification. He chose me as the scapegoat when corporate got upset at the extent of the issue, even though there was proof that the site head had been told what was happening, repeatedly.

Pros

HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

Cons

The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
