Pros

Nice facility, engineers get to work with brand new equipment. Great networking opportunities since most of the employees move on to much better companies and hopefully they can pass on a good word. Good area to live and raise a family.

Cons

There are three kinds of people that work at global. 1) People that hate their job and are looking for other jobs 2) People that hate their job but need to fulfill their 2 year contract and 3) People that hate their job but have moved up in the company to far with too many benefits to start over at another company. That in a nut shell describes the culture of the company. Its such a poisonous place to work I don't think it can be repaired. Work life balance is horrible! The techs hate their job because they opinions are not respected and they have turned into chemical bottle changers, and the engineers hate their job because they never have time between all the meetings to actually engineer anything.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Great team in Burlington. Diverse technology portfolio provides endless opportunity to learn.

Cons

Non-revenue support groups have small budgets and are seen as cost-burdens. Raises and promotions are behind the industry.
