Pros

Very Nice Co-Workers No Micro Managment

Cons

If there is no micro management at this company, it is because there really isn't management at all. There is a lot of talk about innovation and improvement, but the infrastructure is so far behind the times (my team had no central place for documentation...SharePoint was accessible, but for whatever reason not used. Walking around the building gives one the sense you are at a company that is stuck in 2001. This doesn't bode well for a company that provides the services it does. (I don't mean to be harsh...there are a lot of great people here that do great work...but far too much time is spent in competition with other departments rather that collaborative work that could move the company forward.)

Pros

The work life balance is decent. Good team to work with , benefits are decent. A lot of opportunity to learn new technologies as they use IT technologies used is very diverse.

Cons

The upper management does not understand the difference in IT work that can be done fully remote and the work of a staff that needs to work in a factory or lab setting. The employee attrition rate has been high since they eliminated remote work and is expected to get worse as most companies are now flexible with remote opportunities (since COVID) and the management wants all its employees back on site from sept 2022. Lots of finger pointing between different groups if something does not work.
