      Pros

      24 hour gym, cafeteria on site is great, employee discounts are really good. It is fun working on power tools.

      Cons

      Everything is made oversees (China). Work life balance is non-existent, say goodbye to your family life. Say hello to extremely long hours, endless piles of work., and late night teleconferences. Fire drills are very common due to poor planning. Marketing claims against "competitors" are based off no-name brands, there is no integrity here.

      Pros

      Good stepping stone place to launch a career from.

      Cons

      Pay and benefits do not match responsibilities and workloads. No real advancement. No clear direction for workload and priorities. No communications in the department from management. Constantly shifting priorities and foggy instructions.

      Pros

      Been there for decades and have built up a nice vacation package but they implemented vacation caps, punishing all long term employees.

      Cons

      The allocations for the battery test lab is always up in the air. On one hand the company publically touts themselves as being a world leader in Lithium Ion battery and cell technology but behind closed doors we have to delay critical battery testing several times each week since there is no test lab area dedicated for testing. This is the norm and has been going on for years. The company does not hesitate to spend large amounts to make a new marketing area or remodel an area as into a showplace to take our distributors around on tours, but when it comes to the core technical areas, testing required for product development you would swear the company is bankrupt. We lost our best battery engineer several years ago in one of the many layoffs / management power struggles and the quality just has never been the same, we have never recovered.
