Pros

Secure employment as long as you keep your head down and agree with your manager all the time. Pay is average. Free chocolate that is often out of date. Shop floor operatives are hard working and passionate about what they do.

Cons

The culture of nepatism is destroying any chance of getting anything done. It takes 10 years to develop a good relationship with any of the long term staff (and there are a lot of them) in order to get anything done. This is very demoralising as a profesional engineer to have to make lots of plastic friends in order to achieve the simplest resolution to a problem. You should be able to ask a profesional to complete a task and he/she should just do it without weeks of office flirting and gallons of coffee. Way to much focus on soft skills and no visible means of improving manufacturing, mechanical or electrical skill levels. Any monkey can pick up a spanner and hit the machinery then ask for help saying ' I didn't touch it'. It makes for a miserable existance when you have to keep fixing the same issues day in day out. I will be leaving here soon and will not look back with fond memories.
