Pros

No. 1 company in the world in cable manufacturing business. Depends on what you are working as you could get a really cool project. Depends on what is your role, you could get a chance to travel for work abroad.

Cons

You don't get equal treatment inside the company, you get paid basically based on where you are from. Some people in a lower position than me are earning more than me just because they are from 'expensive' countries. Until the company fix this issue, I don't think I am happy working here.

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
