Pros

There are talented and hardworking individuals across teams who genuinely care about delivering results. Some managers support flexibility and work-life balance, and there are occasional opportunities to work on interesting projects if you’re proactive.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly disorganized, creating confusion around priorities and accountability. Over the past six months, there have been multiple waves of layoffs, and many employees feel pushed out rather than supported. Career growth and compensation, including yearly bonuses, often depend more on relationships with upper management than on measurable performance. Leadership tends to avoid taking responsibility for poor decisions, leaving teams to operate without clear direction. Many in senior roles appear to have advanced through attrition or internal politics rather than demonstrated capability.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
