Pros

Working in this company is a daily pleasure as the freedom to act is quite large. For people with willingness to stretch themselves it looks like a good place to be.

Cons

The internal organization is very poor mostly within engineering leading to great deal of confusion on the roles and responsibilities. The same way purchasing is part of operations which is making no sense at all when purchase value is around 70% Also decision making process is horribly inefficient due to that. Result is that poor performers can stay years in position and good ones got desperate to see no promotion and their project stalling.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Vacation, parental leave, cafeteria, DEI.

Cons

I feel like decisions are made by people not involved in processes which results in day to day activities becoming more and more difficult. Unable to schedule projects to save their lives. So many last minute tests and drop in testing, theres almost no point to schedule testing.
