Pros

Good workplace environment. The building has a very pleasant, airy atmosphere and they put a lot of care into making it attractive and putting their products on display. Very kind and friendly coworkers. It's a nice feeling when you start seeing products you worked on on store shelves.

Cons

It is not a good place to work for engineers who are looking to exercise their creativity or their technical skills. With rampant outsourcing, much of the actual engineering and product development is done in China/Hong Kong. Many of the engineers are mainly responsible for project management. Lots of paperwork, emails, and recycling old product ideas. When I was there they had evidently hired too many co-ops, because there was not nearly enough work to go around for all of us.

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
