Shitshow

Pros

Some great colleagues, large company benefits.

Cons

This place is a shitshow when it comes to decision making and management. Every single person in management has strictly received their position based on nepotism and tenure. Managers are grossly underqualified compared to their industry standard position - with no experience in their respective departments, no educational background and no certifications. This leads to an inability to drive the site effectively on production, projects, and timelines. Site head is beyond incompetent. Work from home was taken away for no reason. Favoritism runs rampant. Sexual harassment is next level to the point of HR dismissing cases and sweeping reportings under the rug. Offenders have been given promotions as protection. At the bare minimum nobody cares about your well being on a human level. HR is the root of the problem.

Toxic work environment

Pros

Money is really pretty competitive

Cons

Bosses do not support employees. Instead of leadership working with leadership in other departments who have direct reports who work with their own direct reports, they come down hard on their own direct report, blaming them for everything that goes wrong in a project. Bosses are spineless and frightened of other people’s bosses and take the easy way out. This place is full of bullying managers who won’t speak up to other managers. Example: I have a project I need input on from department X. That department is unresponsive. I chase and chase and still no response. I tell my manager they don’t respond and instead of my manager telling the department x manager that their employee is unresponsive, my manager tells me to chase harder and if they continue to be unresponsive, it’s my fault. My failure. Something my end of year bonus rides on. How dare I not get a response from them. I just have to deal with it. Reflect on it. Do better. In other words I get bullied by my boss.

Pros

Benefits were good. Cadillac medical.

Cons

Work/Life balance is horrible. Promotions are non-existent unless you are part of "the Club". They will work you to death for decades, then lay you off when you are close to retirement.
