Pros

"puts money on the table" Good Marketing. Nice building. Very good production manager. Very good NPI engineer. Good HR staff, powerless. Good location. Fast growing company. Niche market. Fairly ok uniforms. Some training although poor. They hire you if you are overqualified or under-qualified and do not expect you to know the job, they want to mould you and teach you to their system (which is a bad one, actually).

Cons

Managers/supervisors are never wrong, even if you have solid evidence otherwise. Some supervisors will try to burn you to their benefit. Blame culture, never improve and blame it or fire staff. High turnover of staff. Some quit before first day. Some poor engineering designers with many rookie mistakes. Growing bad reputation within Aberdeen. Some supervisors and staff are very under qualified. Double standards, frequently. Toxic fumes released with inefficient collection on post curing ovens, ignored. Messy and dirty. Cheating results/reports and try to get away or blame it on workers. Parts are reworked with make up to hide failures hiding it from clients. Poor Negative reinforcement on pretend training: "If you fail this twice, you get a disciplinary action". Pretend to be environmentally friendy but have little waste separation and illegally burn rubber on backyard. Bad quality control, bad quality assurance. You will leave with bad working habits. Messy expedition system. Poor competent on expediters. Items should be UV protected but are stored naked, can fail under stress if stored too long (years some times). Bad efficiency due to bad system of work, blaming it on staff. Poor cleaning on canteen, overcrowded locker room. If you want to wash your hands, either boil them or freeze them, no middle term, pure stupidity.

Pros

The pay and benefits in the USA.

Cons

Hired as QC but had to do QA, QC, janitorial, shipping receiving, creating osha programs like confined spaces etc. ( not osha certified) this company only gave 36 hours a week to complete all work. Zero hands on training only virtual 2 hours a day while UK branch was open. Ultimately after giving notice I was given a termination notice with 2 days to work and I never went back.
