Company steadily declining

Process engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Average pay, average benefit packages. Coworkers are alright once you get to know them. Someone is always willing to help you if you reach out to them.

Cons

Company has been declining for the last few years. Everyone is swamped with work and 4/5 days of the week are incredibly hectic. Process engineers are required to be on-site and may be called in over the weekends. Management does not care about career development or have any sort of path forward for newer engineers. Most often times a higher-up will need to leave the company before you can be promoted. Company also slashed their 401K contributions this year - not exactly a good choice for saving money.

Pros

The people and pay are great, but everything else went downhill fast!

Cons

Standard Industries sloppy acquisition led to chaotic integration and they slowly started pouring their Kool-Aide down the throats of the managers, who in turn make their workers drink it or else!. The return to office mandate is to be the most moronic decision yet, completely ignoring the fact that the work was being done perfectly fine remotely 3 days a week. Morale has tanked as they ripped away flexibility and even cut the 401K. A textbook example of how to drive good talent out so the top 1% can benefit.
