Pros

Good start for intro career, and very easy hours

Cons

Worked at the Racine campus. There are quite a few cons on why I left this company: - your teammates might be fun to be around but the work ethic is outright ridiculous, people do not take responsibility for their actions or the work. In fact, a timeline is absolutely worth nothing, no one cares if it is missed. - how do people working when the normal working hours are 9-3PM? People leave early or sometimes come in very late. I’m calling out many packaging and processing engineers here who leaves when they want to, how does hard work get done. Not to mention the fact that many of them relies heavily (physically and technically) on the process techs to come in early and leave late for them. - this is a huge marketing driven company, if someone just farts from marketing, the world will change all design plans with no regard to engineers. As a PM, this was incredibly frustrating as there are no respect for each other, always playing the blame game. - upper mgmt only cares about themselves without really giving clear direction on how to really lead in their role. Do they have a strategy? Maybe a select few do, but majority of them are just riding on a cloud. - the pay in the company used to be good 10 years back, they haven’t even move the threshold. HR - have you been doing any benchmarking lately or even take a closer look at what you are offering? Your competitors are beating you and you are afraid because of the mass exodus. Look at what’s causing it. You promote within to build a company, stop hiring someone new to lead a team.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
