Don't work here!

Test technician

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone on my team was quite understanding and helped when they could.

Cons

Time off seems easy to come by at this company. But when this COVID-19 breakout started. My hours were switched to working insane crazy hours from 4:30pm until 3:00am Tuesday through Friday. Due to they didn't want 2nd shift employees interacting with 1st shift. This was poorly handled and should've been managed a whole hell of a lot better.

Pros

Cool technology and great people.

Cons

Doesn't reward being good at your current job, have to move around to get a raise. This means replacing experienced engineers every 3 years with zero experienced ones.
