Pros

Good pay with excellent benefits. Nice people to work with in a team structure.

Cons

Organizational structure is ridiculous in the manufacturing areas. Lower level Manufacturing leadership (Department Leads, "SME's", first level Supervisors) are extremely underdeveloped with skill and knowledge as it pertains to processes, tooling and equipment in their particular areas. As it is currently structured, these manufacturing leads earn higher pay levels than the Engineering support staff for those areas. However, the engineering support staff (who are much more knowledgeable and developed) are routinely directed and delegated to by these manufacturing leads. The whole structure is backwards/upside down. The most developed in skills and knowledge for processes, tooling and equipment in specific areas should have the higher pay levels and direct the underdeveloped.

Pros

Lots of free snacks. Some truly talented people work here.

Cons

DEI is still being implemented like it is 2020. They have changed the name to D&I but the principals are the same. Meritocracy is treated with suspicion.
