Poorly managed

Pros

great benefits, good infrastructure, good diversity initiatives, unlimited FTO (flexible time off)

Cons

for mechanical engineering, there isn't a lot going on. I worked for a startup that was acquired by Alcon, and the startup was poorly managed to begin with, and then ALcon got involved, and made it even worse
