Pros

This place has no shortage of highly competent people, engineers, PMs, and business leaders alike. The reorganization happened recently should help this once great business unit to stand up in competition by restoring the customer focus and the market share.

Cons

Hierarchical culture, lack of fairness and respect, lower engineering staff got too much power to exercise the personal practice to the employees, abuse sometimes. People are suffering without hope... No check and balance by upper management.

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
