Pros

Good benefits package, good people, and interesting products

Cons

I had such high hopes for this company when I started as many people in the organization worked there for many years. This is typically a good sign. To start, the only glaring problem was the word diversity being considered taboo. A few of us tried to change this culture, but to no avail. I saw someone pushed out of the organization for advocating for what is right. A current employee left a scathing review on Glassdoor and Indeed calling out racism, discrimination, and homophobia. The company figured out who left the review and instructed them to remove it rather than addressing the concerns. I learned several individuals higher up in the company do not like members of the LGBTQ+ community, and a few even believe that gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married. I brought up these concerns in my exit interview, and the response was there was no time to deal with such things. In addition to the above, there were several rounds of layoffs with questionable methods for selecting who would be impacted. This paired with being short staffed aided in my departure. I can honestly say this company doesn't care about your well-being. If you can't help them make money, they will chew you up and spit you out and then forget about you.

Pros

-Air conditioned building. -Computer chairs to sit in during work.

Cons

-Upper management and above is abysmal. I had 6 managers over the course of 3 years of working there. "Organizational change ups", firings and just walking out, seem to happen routinely due to the rot at the top. -Management outright lied about co-workers and my performance in our yearly reviews as an excuse to deem our positions as obsolete and then the company laid us off. -Lots of detrimental policies for lower level employees including the "pay differentials" and will gladly underpay mid level employees while consistently stacking more responsibilities on you. -Non-first shift employees are consistently ignored and disregarded despite most of them having longer tenure then the revolving door of employees on 1st shift. -Company leadership likes to demand mandatory overtime for Electronic Assemblers way too often resulting in slumps of work where they'll "offer" unpaid time off. -Company is also hyper reactive and volatile when trying to meet demand. Including laying off the majority of a third shift when work got slow, to then mass hiring for all shifts nearly doubling low level employees including a weekend shift about a year after cutting the 3rd shift, that has now been dwindled back down to similar employment levels only 8 months later.
