One of The Worst Places I've worked for

Pros

There are no pros to working here

Cons

They just don't care about their employees, management picks favorite's and puts extra work others who aren't in that favorite's group while they sit and do nothing while some places are understaffed, causing the already low moral to go even lower. Along with that you have no work-life balance, when your not at work, you at home because you have to recover from the 12 hour shift because management threw away chairs and will write you up if you sit down even for a second

Pros

Great benefits and office location when you go into office.

Cons

They give titles away like candy to retain employees. I worked with people that had staff titles but were not staff level engineers. They would send me garbage and I would have to show them how to do their job. I would suggest getting all the resumes of people in your group to really understand their skill set. No one in one of my groups had ever produced a successful product. Workload is crazy. All they worry about is delivering something on time for upper management. Does not give you time to evaluate and deliver an optimized device. I feel this is counter to their environmental mission.

Pros

Insurance is good and cheap but could be better

Cons

The pay should be higher. Benefits should be cheaper and the hours suck. Working 6 to 7 days a week even on holidays. Workers need to elect a Union.
