      Lots of squandered potential.

      Pros

      Good experience for resume. Learning how to deal with difficult people. Seeing firsthand many of the cliche business 101 mistakes immature companies must overcome on their way to becoming well run organizations.

      Cons

      Politics. Subject Matter Experts being ignored by less experienced people who were over-promoted into management. High turn-over of some of the best talents leads to high levels of loss of institutional knowledge. Privately-owned means that much of the oversight recieved by publicly owned companies is not present. Siloed decisions are made based on the limited perspective of of small group of disconnected executives.

      Huge Layoff Caused so many People to be bitter

      Pros

      Nice coworkers that supported each other. Great pay if you could get your raises that fit your job and performance. So managers were great bosses, others not so much.

      Cons

      The brown nosers you had to stay away from. Bad managers still have their jobs, but the laid off all the good experienced workers. Now they can't get anyone to do the jobs! Made the people who were laid off, sign paperwork not be be able to be rehired- very unfair. But at this point after the way the treated everyone, I wouldn't want to work there. So many have left since the big layoff. Terrible management.

      Pros

      Good benefits Coworkers can be great Flexible hours Decent gyms Cafeteria up in GB is actually pretty good. Lots of travel, not to anywhere nice, but there is variety. Great job if you want to do the bare minimum and not get fired.

      Cons

      Bad management and bad hiring! Do not work here if you are just starting your career or a young professional because you will not be supported or trained. Management will not fight for you to get promotions. Management will not say no to customers, OEMs, or upper management, but will gladly tell you no if you need support. Worked way over hours with no compensation or recognition Do NOT work here if you are a woman. Little to no written processes
