Pros

-Good work life balance -Immediate managers and supervisors are skilled, faced zero politics

Cons

-Changes CEO/long-term strategy every 3 years, so chances of being employed for more than 2 years is low. -Frequent layoffs and glut hiring. Large number of people hired within 1/2 years got laid off, so why hire them..? -No vision/plan for future, feels like a sinking ship.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.
