Pros

Pros are - I get my 5 year paid sabbatical soon then I’m out of here

Cons

leadership is inexperienced and engages in clique-ish management, if you’re not in the “in” group, be prepared to not prosper no matter how hard you work No one knows what they are doing Tired of the 3.5 hour long all hands which is basically an Adam praise contest with all his bros and people getting up there to talk about how great their role is for 30 minutes saved with 5 minutes at the end to tell us how the actual product is doing Selling drones to Israel was announced and it made me uncomfortable Don’t get me started on the benefits that cost hundreds of dollars , no real perks, no 401k match , 1 spouse and 2 dependents can cost you upwards of 1700 per month for the cheap plan As someone who has been here years..I do not recomment

Pros

Free food that is about it.

Cons

Management is very very poor. nepotism referrals no experience or bad experience from small companies. I worked in about a dozen places too. This place takes the cake as the worst management. All their manufacturing lines are designed horribly. Some people don't speak English well here can't communicate ideas. They get all pissed off when you ask questions low EQ if you are trying to understand something deeper. High turnover job they slander you. People joking before the shift about how we all are going to get fired before the start of the shift
