      Decent benefits with too much negative peer competition and uncooperative work environment.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Multiple automation processes with modern robotic tools to learn and gain hands-on experience. Clearly defined scopes of responsibilities among teams and team members. Opportunity to work for a leading company in an increasingly thriving industry

      Cons

      Vietnamese staffs with low English proficiency including those at managerial positions Excessively negative peer competition with no solutions from site management to alleviate the situation and improve the collaboration among the staffs Unjust and unfair performance evaluation of team members with absolutely no oversight from site's HR Ineffective hierarchical management style with little to no interaction between managers and engineer lower level personnels.

      Compensation and benefits needs improvement.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Got along great with my coworkers. Developed lifelong friendships with people from FS today. Very easy work, if you like pushing a button for 12 hours.

      Cons

      Insurance premiums kept going up while our yearly compensation was going down. Felt like I never got ahead. Favoritism is very high there. Getting laid off no matter how many years (12) you worked there. Not much work/life balance when you're working the night crew.
