Pros

Smart colleagues working on extremely challenging technical topics; opportunities to learn about cross-disciplinary industrial research problems; company places a high value on avoiding layoffs even during challenging economic times; many opportunities to collaborate with other silicon valley researchers from universities, companies, and national labs.

Cons

Career advancement challenges arise for most researchers after a few years: the company's preferred path is for employees to move to Germany or a business unit at that point, but those options are often not preferred by the research oriented engineers that get hired at this site; returning to the research center after a foreign assignment is extremely difficult. The company's size and process-driven approach create some cultural challenges in silicon valley, and slow research progress down relative to more agile or focused valley companies. Communication and relationships with HQ in Germany are a struggle.

Pros

Manager is great - get overtime hours.

Cons

Low hourly pay $24.00 hr is ridiculous low for what made do on a shift. Upper management is terrible, they just pass the blame to the store manager and staff to deal with the issues with no solution. Makes me think upper management don’t know their own roll in response to helping their staff succeed. Pay for warehouse / driver job needs be minimum of $26.00 hr in Ma. Reason why you can’t find good help who stay. Or even CSA workers. Too much to do on given shift with little to no support or tools needed. Lack of staff - lack of support from upper management- lack of communication and training. Without your warehouse team you have no business and yet pay us the bare minimum pay. Without us - you got no business !!
