Pros

Good company if you want to cruise along and collect a paycheck. Laid back and slow pace of work. People are usually nice. Low cost of living in Columbus. Work life balance is tilted more towards the life part! Fosters diversity. Columbus has a good international community for the size of town it is.

Cons

- not much room for breakthrough innovation - everyone drinks the 6 sigma cool aid. It's like an "emperor with no clothes". Everyone knows its a farce but you cant say it as it is. - 20% of the employees really make a difference, the other 80% are there to cheer on - all work locations are in boring places - jamestown ny, mineral point wi, rocky mount nc, etc. - limited growth opportunities - low pay

Pros

Work from home, flexibility, paternal leave policy, pension plan

Cons

Pay is low and has not kept up with inflation. Leadership is only DEI hires, and they do not seem to understand the actual work being done. They are making life miserable for employees by adding unnecessary KPI's and performance tracking to make a name for themselves within the senior leadership. No loyalty for employees, they will let you go in the blink of an eye if the business struggles.
