Pros

Flexible work schedule, good leadership, great training, take safety as a top priority

Cons

Too many work processes. Compensation for overtime during turnarounds doesn't exist. Finger pointing when things go wrong. Don't pay well enough for good engineers and designers, then wonder why projects have so many changes.

Pros

Focus on Safety! Great workforce. Good Benefits (401K, Employee Stock Purchase Program, Medical, Dental, etc) & Work/Life Balance. Great opportunities in a variety of businesses & products throughout the world.

Cons

Base salary is lower than most competitors in the Northern California area. Little chance for upward movement at the small to medium sized sites. Few employees are fast tracked through management & even fewer to director levels, without a clear explanation of who is chosen.
