Pros

- number of annual leaves is higher than most companies - investing in their WESOP option is highly beneficial

Cons

In my 4 years, I've worked in a few teams, in GSC (manufacturing plant) and in Digital (AI HUB). And the short review is, if you get a job in either of these, decline NOW. My 3 years in the GSC manufacturing plant were HORRIBLE with 6 day working (which nobody informed us prior to joining as GETs).. FULL of misogynistic employees who will not cooperate in anything, and who are verbally abusive.. I moved to Digital thinking it would be far more progressive, being IT and all. Management here was also very bad, either indifferent to concerns, or straight up unwilling to listen to them using quotes like "my way or the highway". Teams will spend hours on giving KTs without passing any useful information, will force everyone to give SOME output, not the RIGHT output, within ridiculously unrealistic timelines. I am writing this as I am in my notice period, but even these 3 months I am not able to handle the burnout this company has caused. Don't even think of reaching out to HR for your issues. They will only reply if you have something beneficial to give them. Nobody is there to assist you with any HR issues. I reached out to them myself multiple times before finally saying I need an early release due to my failing mental health and I was seenzoned.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
