Pros

401k match is decent, unlimited PTO

Cons

Quality system is extremely convoluted and unorganized, it makes it really difficult to know what needs to be done. Unusually high turnover, this makes project progress come to a crawl especially when there's people constantly trying to learn their own roles so it becomes a situation where the blind leads the blind. High turnover also means very limited or downright no advancement opportunities since new managers have no idea on the work you did before they joined organization. The entire time I was there, none of my quality team members were promoted. Excessive paperwork for defects related to products released to the market, quality is in charge of this and the entire team was swamped with these paperworks taking priority over project work. Ineffective quality leadership, managers was more of a delegator and had no real power over their own teams. They were simply relaying the instructions given by their leadership. My manager was a micromanager and downright hostile to my team and other people.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
