Company is generating a large amount of revenue.

Cons

Terrible management, no direction, last minute fixes. Toxic workplace with people leaving or being laid off constantly. Low pay. High stress workplace. Expected to work in the middle of the night and weekends. Yearly raises are almost nothing. No chance to move up in the company.

Pros

Interesting technology and exposure to advanced automation systems. Opportunity to work on complex engineering projects.

Cons

Poor work-life balance with high expectations and little flexibility. Communication from leadership and the general manager was very limited, making it difficult to stay aligned. There was also a lack of transparency around performance expectations and job security. Even when performing well and fully understanding the environment and workflows, employees could be let go without warning or a second chance. This creates unnecessary turnover and results in lost knowledge, requiring time and resources to retrain new engineers who are unfamiliar with the systems.
