Pros

Compared to other manufacturing companies, this company has less red tape and I could more easily get my work done. Having the option to hybrid work is a plus. The San Jose campus is large and has a nice cafeteria and gym.

Cons

Old grumpy men are everywhere in management positions. They spend all day arguing and talking in meetings complaining about vendors or missed moves and don't fix anything, while minimum wage operators do all the work. Oh, did I mention the company is terminating 200+ staff this year? Bonuses and 401k matching is also revoked, which means the company lied to me when I got my job offer.
