      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent 401k match of 6% right from day 1, no vesting period Alright PTO compensation at 17 days as starting employee, with option to purchase up to 10 days Internal process to learn design guidelines was good Decent co-workers within BU both locally and abroad

      Cons

      Engineering jobs being moved from US to Mexico and Germany to Romania to reduce costs Lots of meetings making it hard to get work done Watched many star employees leave after being overworked into the ground Managers have poor communication with project teams and how many resources they need Project teams never staffed enough Requests for more resources to meet project timing always responded with it's not in the budget American and German management communication is poor and not well aligned Work life balance is spotty No additional PTO until 8 years of employment Meetings with China outside of working hours at times like 5am and 10pm Not sure what point the company goals serve, you're disposable like at any other American company

      Not enough support

      Quality engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with people from different cultures

      Cons

      Too many meetings that you can’t do your work Area too big for one person to handle and when asking for another person answer is always it’s not in the budget Being given extra duties that’s not in your job description and no extra pay Management is slow to making decisions in a time of urgency Work-life balance doesn’t exist always on call 24/7
