Pros

The products we will be delivering and projects are very interesting and very groundbreaking research , development, production is done here. I definitely enjoy the work and technical aspect of the projects.

Cons

Don’t recommend this place if you’re young and a woman and looking to feel included. I am 100% on site for reference. It’s already a male dominated field as is but I feel like the work culture lacks in female empowerment and support here and also for young people to feel included. Feels like an old boys club for the most part and you will get spoken over by other men constantly. My imposter syndrome has been really bad at this job and it’s affecting my mental health and I feel very lonely and isolated. Lacks in amenities on site and company culture and other companies offer more competitive salaries for less stressful work and a smaller workload, giving me less of an incentive to stay here long term. Can’t speak for all parts of the company but this is how I feel at the Wilton location and my role and work life balance is poor. There’s not much opportunity for professional growth or attending outside conferences and the hierarchy for engineers is very flat for the most part. Management is also dismissive and poor regarding employees feelings rather than supportive and motivating.

Pros

Location is good and near freeway, they make a crucial technology for the world to function

Cons

Toxic environment. Selective enforcement, antisemitic DEI culture, tattle tale rat snitch employees, managers play favorites, managers move the goal post after you were supposed to earn a salary increase. too many foreigners in management and not enough americans. DEI is a joke and is run by a racist black women. Company will burn you and punish you for problems someoen else created and punish you for it despite no power to fix the issue yourself.
