Pros
Early finish on Fridays Good parking Good base pay
Cons
Work not challenging, limited career progression, no vision of where the Engineering department is going, products are extremely basic. Annual redundancies at Christmas, with the company paying government minimums Mostly warranty work for in service products designed elsewhere, typically change a couple of dimensions or material spec on a drawing and then on to the next job. Pay rises equal across the team, i.e. individual effort not recognised No desire from management to change or improve anything Bit of a revolving door and not much work to do I've never been so bored working at a company Next door to a sewage treatment works, so smells absolutely rank in the summer
