Pros

Good benefits, great people to work with (within some teams), relaxed work space, culture committee & decent employee events. Perhaps a good place for entry level candidate looking to start their career.

Cons

Do not apply for jobs within the Supply Chain department. If so, prepare for very poor lower management that is not being addressed by upper management. Managers will not have your best interests in mind and if you have a strong work ethic, you will be taken advantage of. Many good employees are leaving this company as their voices are not being heard and their concerns are not being taken seriously. HR is not a helpful resource for resolving internal issues. They know management is bad and will do nothing. Don't waste your time. The company is currently struggling within the market so no comment on the outlook. This company also likes to hire from the outside instead of promoting from within. There are many people here who believe in the tech and products which may save the company if the management doesn't fail them first.
