Pros

- lots of autonomy - fast paced - interesting global network - down to earth CEO - I personally love the culture

Cons

Culture can be overwhelming for some people. There are high expectations to perform and also fit in. Some of the old guard do not want to change with newer management ( but seems to be working itself out)

Pros

Always something to repair or maintain. Supervisors are understanding of family or personal needs. Great coworkers.

Cons

Breakdown in communication between departments. High level employees have no idea how hard the production employees work.
