Pros

- Offers flexibility in working arrangements, allowing for a degree of work-life balance. - Good benefit package.

Cons

- Team leaders lack decisiveness and clarity, forcing employees to execute impractical directives with zero decision-making autonomy. - Heavy favoritism by team leaders dictates workload distribution. Those who are not favorites are burdened with excessive tasks and unfairly blamed for issues, driving high voluntary turnover ("self-quitting"). - Strong performance is rewarded only with out-of-scope responsibilities and a higher workload, without proper recognition or career advancement from team leadership. - Team leaders completely dismiss employee input, even actively ignoring negative VOE survey results under the excuse that they are "not worth addressing." - Permanent staffing shortages lead to an unsustainable workload. Operational concerns regarding burnout are minimized by team leaders who dismiss the issue by claiming they are busier or that the team's workload is insignificant, rather than finding structural resource solutions.

Pros

Plenty of great, passionate coworkers who work hard and collaborate. I had a lot of professional flexibility and my job was always interesting. Process teams on the manufacturing floor is a great system. Offsite resources, especially technical experts, are great.

Cons

Expect to be firefighting constantly and frequently fighting against an aging facility and outdated processes. No unified vision or clear prioritization from management. Misalignment between site leadership and upper/off-site management created sustained operational friction and stress for employees. Leadership turnover was frequent, contributing to ongoing instability. Because of all this, there was a super low morale and a feeling of widespread fatigue. Inconsistent communication and decision-making standards contributed to a low-trust culture, including regular informal discussion of colleagues and unprofessional and sometimes intimidating behavior in meetings. Performance feedback and perceived value were highly dependent on shifting leadership dynamics rather than consistent, objective criteria. Employees could move from being strongly supported to heavily criticized with little change in actual performance. Although a nine-box review process was supposedly used, individual outcomes were not transparently shared with employees. Onboarding and training for specialized roles were underdeveloped. Compensation was just fine for workload and scope of responsibility.
