Pros

Benefits Pension Company Car "Was" a great place to work where people cared for each other. Maybe it will get back to that one day.

Cons

You are just a number. Lower on the pay scale within the industry. Decreased promoting from within. Diversity in the workplace is great! However, when a company begins to track diversity in the workplace, set diversity goals while allowing the hiring/promoting process to be heavily influenced by the diversity goals, that company begins to put the wrong people in the wrong positions to make the wrong decisions. (Especially for an engineering-based company which is statistically is made up of a pool of 60-70% white male). I fully support diversity and inclusion in the workplace, but I don't want it stuffed down my throat and expect senior leadership to practice what they preach. Warning to any white male. Great location for any minority or women (fast track).

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
