Pros

Factory workers and tool engineers are largely down to earth and willing to teach you hands-on skills. Abundance of problems with the way everything is run gives you good insight.

Cons

Company has a history of bleeding skilled engineers. Newer engineers will be the ones to train you but the company won't pay to train them either. Senior engineers still around are checked out and have internalized the slow work culture. Production is toxic and the office is toxic, both environments bleed into each other. Veterans gossip constantly and it's distracting.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
