Pros

Compensation is slightly above industry standard. Stable company with very few lay-offs. A lot of people experienced with the product lines.

Cons

Processes too complicated and cumbersome to get things done. Almost no communications to employees from middle management; many decisions are done behind the dorrs.

Pros

Good amount of downtime. Company car. Decent benefits. Fairly autonomous (depending on manager). Great troubleshooting experience.

Cons

Management can be overbearing. After being bought by Siemens, the company no longer values patient treatment over profit. Work life balance is seriously lacking. You may have downtime but you can’t plan anything during the week due to being on-call. Overtime is now heavily monitored, where it used to be a big selling point. Seeing as the hourly pay is relatively low compared to the job responsibilities.
