Pros

- excellent benefits and pay - generally professional company culture

Cons

Upon my resignation, the plant manager commented that he didn't understand why turnover in process engineering roles across the division was so excessively high... well here is why: - terrible work/life balance. 60+ hours a week and phone calls in the middle of the night. - employees who have not been with the company for long are treated like idiots by coworkers all up and down the food chain. Young process engineers suffer literal verbal abuse by operators, managers, quality, product development, supply chain, everybody. I saw three of my peers CRY LITERAL TEARS from the abuse in a period of six months. - no prioritization of problems, everything has to be solved immediately and everything is the process engineer's fault. A chiller line broke in the middle of the night? PE's fault. An operator ran the wrong recipe? PE's fault. Scratches on the web? PE's fault. - Yay! you finally solved a problem!! OK, big deal... why haven't you fixed these other 10 things yet??

Pros

A lot of great coworkers who genuinely care about each other.

Cons

Management at the director level and above is typically the worst combination of cocky, amoral, and incompetent. Ideas or projects are often initiated with little to no supporting data and the work/stress needed to make up for management's poor decisions rolls downhill. Compensation doesn't come close to making up for the poor work-life balance and layoffs are a constant fear.
