Pros

Canteen isnt bad, you get the occasional free lunch.

Cons

I wouldn’t recommend working here. For anyone interested in learning or developing as an engineer, this isn’t the place. There’s no structured or professional approach to engineering. Processes often feel improvised, and in some cases, tradespeople are left to design systems as they install them, which raises serious concerns about quality and accountability. Safety is another major issue. There appears to be a “safety last” mindset, with HAZOP findings frequently ignored, leading to potentially dangerous working environments. Opportunities for promotion or career advancement are extremely limited. Bonuses are also disappointing and rarely paid out in full. Overall, it’s not an environment that supports professional growth, good engineering practice, or employee wellbeing.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
