Pros

Benefits . Hard working co-workers. Company functions. Perks.

Cons

Outdated facilities, specially labs. Understaffed, paper-based quality operations. Each person handles workload for at least 2. People are tired, stressed out and overloaded. Upper Management is aware of problems but does not admit. New hire inherit load of issues and can not catch up, since are overloaded with new requests/priorities. Instead of support and providing tools for success, upper Mgmt. (local and corporate) sets up new talent for failure. In addition, these "leaders" (no leadership skill there) easily point fingers and blame others, even their own reports to save their own skin. Unbelievable. Instead of Team Work, mentorship and support, new hire are left on their own and tangled in extreme corporate politics, lack of accountability and back-stabbing environment. Good workers are leaving one by one and remaining are in-process of job searching.
