Friendly work environment where management is involved with your work and progress. Very helpful to co-ops and interns and allow us to learn a lot about the company.

Healthcare plans have really degraded recently.

Pros

The compensation is terrific and the working conditions are very good. They are very flexible with working hours and leaving early/coming in early if the need arises.

If you are not an engineer, this place is not for you. The opportunity for advancement is so small without an engineering background. They have engineers running their whole supply chain. This provides many issues.

Huge company if you're into that. Great globalization as you may talk to people in Poland in the Morning then people in Mexico in the aternoon.

Treat your engineers with more priority. They are the backbone of the company and may be considerably undervalued, and more so when you outsource engineering jobs.
