Pros
The health insurance was fairly priced. SPE also had some of the most intelligent engineers that I’ve worked around. A lot of corporate holidays. Did send members overseas to train in sister plants.
Cons
The SDI management did not listen to the voices of anyone else besides other Korean nationals. Being a manager, the hourly SDI trainer had more say in the business than myself. Every other nationality other than Korean is treated as a second-class citizen. The engineers that I worked with were some of the most intelligent engineers that I have ever worked with. Those engineers left the company due to mistreatment. HR is the worst that I have ever witnessed. If you should have a problem, don’t expect it to be solved. As a matter up fact, just expect that problem to be swept under the rug. The safety culture is terrible. SDI members regularly bypass safety standards to complete tasks. I was told many times to skirt the safety regulations in place. No hourly time keeping in place. All hourly time keeping was done
