Pros

The benefits are the best thing this company offers. A lot of the people who work here are amazing people. The company does a lot of cool and thoughtful extras like the holiday parties and GPTW parties. as well as cater Thanksgiving and Christmas lunches.

Cons

In the few years I have worked here the morale has gone from 100% to almost zero. With the recent ban on headphones we (in the lab) feel punished and can see absolutely no logical reason to take that from us. I can say in all honesty that unless you are friends with leadership, you will remain wherever you are. I really felt this was not the case when I first started but I became close friends with my supervisor and it was very obvious that I had started to get ahead of my qualifications because of it. This has since ended but was very eye opening and kind of damaging to the view of leadership. THE PATH that is drilled into our heads is hard to keep at heart when you feel like leadership is constantly lying to you. I did not receive ANY compensation this year while my review I was being told how much of a value to my team I am and to not let it get me down. Even though the PTO system seems like a good idea it does not cover enough time to have time off as well as make sure you have enough time in case you get the flu or something and need like a week off. There is A TON of people throwing people under the bus in order to get where they want to go in the company. All and All we put most of our life at work or getting ready for work or driving to work. I really use to look forward to coming to work everyday but it has become hard to maintain that positive attitude with so much going wrong in the lab. I really feel there is so much more to say but fear these concerns are not looked at as anymore than another upset employee

Thanks. In addition to PTO we have six weeks of sick leave for serious health issues that require a doctor's care. I don't know your specific situation or why you did not receive an increase in compensation. I recommend you talk to your manager or HR and they will provide an explanation. There have been a lot of recent comments about no longer allowing headphones to be used in the lab. Our Safety team has been meeting with employees to explain this and field questions. In general it has to do with avoiding distractions while working on customer equipment, and limiting the noise exposure and the potential damage to employees' ears (the lab is already very loud). I realize this is not seen as positive change but I hope you can understand. Thank you again.

Thank you. Increases are based on a number of factors which include job performance, skills, work ethic, and attitude among others. I don't know your specific situation but would be happy to discuss this with you. You could also talk to your manager or your department VP for clarification. Thanks again and good luck.

Thank you. I'm glad you're happy about some aspects of working here. I'll admit that I'm very surprised about the other scores you gave us. Thanks.
