Typical big company evaluation system.

Pros

Great safety culture. Diverse opportunities within engineering and manufacturing. Senior members who have held roles for an extended period of time are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Cons

Evaluation system is something that seems typical for a large company. Doing a great job in your core role does not mean that you will be achieve a good ranking at the end of the year. Leadership does a poor job explaining how to do better. Role jumping is the structure for advancement in the company which does not appear to create strong experience. Layoffs are occurring from upper management without consultation of team members.

Pros

Decent pay if you have been around awhile Good benefits

Cons

Absolutely NO leadership exists at this company. Senior leaders are dictators. Reorganization and headcount slashing takes place often without rhyme or reason. No accountability exists for the executives. Forced ranking is demotivating. Morale among many of the businesses is at an all-time low.
