Pros

Really good benefits, and ability to buy into stock purchase plan is a great way to build on savings. The compressed work schedule gives a great work-life balance.

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement in manufacturing. Most rotation opportunities are given to those deemed by management as chosen ones for the next level. Pay for technicians and assemblers is very low with even more limited advancement opportunities.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
