Pros

Location. Reasonable distance to most of southern nh and northern mass.

Cons

- Poor management. Out out of touch. - Low quality of recruiting. Upper management will push to hire fresh grads or bottom of the barrel candidates. - Poor department structure. Supervisors will report directly to QC head. No middle management. -Aggressive timelines and poor staffing. Will be required to work long hours and overtime. - Poor communication and accountability between departments. Constantly heard "Idk, I just work here". - Inexperienced global support. Continously say there is global support, but global team is inexperienced and not knowledgeable to process. - Equipment outdated. Extremely outdated. - Tribal knowledge to the max. Training extremely poor for the complex processes. - Will hire consultants to do work rather than support growth and knowledge of existing team members. - HR team glazes over the short staffing and overall support of the team members. -Save your time and career and go elsewhere.

Pros

Key words: Work-life balance, excellent benefits, career development and growth culture. I am most inspired by the support our Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging Team offers employees from all walks of life. I had the opportunity to attend my first seminar on "Neurodivergence in the workplace" and hear experiences from peers and leaders.

Cons

Having to say goodbye to retiring colleagues.
