Pros

Most of peer level colleagues are very nice and helpful. Some of the leaders are very supportive depending on departments. Break room supplies quality tea and coffee. Benefit, HSA and 401K are not bad. No serious parking problem comparing the past.

Cons

Recently, the workplace is getting more politics. Some of department leaders never understand what their direct report actual work and schedule. Salary is margin low comparing with market, in general. The upper management is encouraging transparency and communication, however, the Sr. Director/Director levels are limited to follow / maybe have difficulty to follow / not willing to follow. Product programs is driven by cost most of the time instead of science/technology driven.

Much of the company is still working on old manufacturing engineering principals and is too slowly migrating towards new standards in manufacturing and engineering. This causes to frustration and in many cases less efficient solutions
