Pros

Cool product, reputable name, challenging work, great technical competence, good intended leadership

Cons

Engineering wide- poor execution, parts never come on time, continuous program slips, test delays, top management is "White Heavy" (Spreading a few white women across top management and calling it diverse isn't sufficient), all operations planned for failure and people who raise concerns are not "team players"

Pros

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

Personnel reporting to me had apparently looked up my political affiliation (which I had never mentioned) and took exception to it by sabotaging work that I had supervised. This was well before 2022 - actually 2015-2016 (2022 is earliest review date I could select). I was just now remembering it. This polarized political posture was a function of the plant being near Harrisburg, PA which, at least then, was a somewhat "redneckish" area. I have never discussed my politics at work, so it seemed absurd of them to look up my party affiliation and take issue with it.
