Pros

Coworkers are awesome and friendly.

Cons

Process Engineering department is run very poorly with incredibly high turn over. Process engineers are expected to work longer hours than other departments with little regard for work/life balance. You will always be behind on one project or the next and goals are purposely set to be unachievable. Communication with management is very poor. In my person experience, I was fired without warning, negative review or any performance improvement program. There is no formal training program so expect "trial by fire" approach. Process engineers are expected to work on the assembly line when production is short staffed (this is not a requirement for other engineering departments). Expect an earful of cringe motivational quotes from Christophe daily ("SUCCESS") and get on your knees for Harry or you'll end up unemployed like me.
