Pros

-They are a large company -Class A equipment, but most companies have that -I was able to leave and get a job that literally paid $10k more for exactly the same work and hours -Johnson Matthey is backwards, so if youre hyper conservative and like working for nothing, this is the place for you

Cons

-Draconian rules and regulations regarding employees liberties -75% of people that work here are uptight, unfriendly, arrogant and generally unlikable -They expect you to be a masochist for their benefit, but give you little in return, they have a disrespectful/entitled mentality of 'You should just be glad you have a job here' -Pay is sub-par compared to even smaller companies -Working here reminded me of the set of that Terry Gilliam movie 'Brazil' -Almost everyone I worked with here was unhelpful in educating me about the products being made, very little freedom of thought and worse of all, the people are just simply rude

Pros

Decent benefits but they are working on ruining that. The people are the best part but that is also changing as the company is changing.

Cons

Used to be a family type place who cared about people. Now just a numbers game. the new CEO, Robert McLeod has grand visions. His first major decision as CEO was the worst one, "install SAP" what I call "fools gold". 4 years later and still not one successful installation at one site. Millions invested. So now he has to cut costs so he is bleeding every place dry and squeezing everything to the minimum. Moved to a matrix and brought in high level people from the outside who don't understand the business and don't care about people. Such a waste.
