Pros

There are always job openings because people either quit or get fired. Health care benefits are ok. Don't take a job here if your looking for a comfortable place to work.

Cons

Too many initiatives. Used to be a great family feel. New CEO wants all the old employees out. Very stressful environment. Culture is terrible. Really sad to see it go downhill so quickly.

Generally good company to work for but career progression is slow and limited

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting engineering/science, friendly and relaxed working environment. Good bonus scheme, pensions and shares. A global company that has the potential to give exciting career.

Cons

Huge under-investment around certain parts of the business has lead to some departments massively under-resourced for the work they need to do. Pay is low considering the hazards and risks. Career progression too dependent upon whether you were on the graduate scheme or have a senior manager backing you. The career planning is very poor.
