Pros

You pay bills, some co-workers are nice

Cons

- Micromanagement - racist manager and co-workers - poor communication, poor culture in general, next cube co-worker does not bother to respond to your good morning greeting - job description changes 24/7, manager continuously changed his idea on trivial issues and the main reason is that he does not want to retire, changing direction all the time - My manager hardly read my emails and reports and gave poor annual review rating - don’t be fooled by the retirement plan, if they let you go below three years due to business restructuring that happens all the time, you will lose all company’s 3% contribution to your retirement account, no matter what - Wise decision is to stay away from these people

Pros

Some nice people. Lots of people not doing their job so things get bogged down. Hilarious town hall meetings where they squirm and answer to hostile workers.

Cons

This is a silly company. To begin I want to say this is perhaps the worst, most vile company I have ever come across. The incompetence and astro turfing truly stands out. I want to warn young engineers that this company is not a place to get experience as touching drawings/product knowledge is not experience worth much. I also encourage potential hires to research their legal history and legal strategy. Great people. I watched people with 40+ years at JC get walked out the door abruptly. On the business side this place is so far behind they think they are ahead. It’s a combination of bitter old heads who mailed it in 10 years going through the motions and young engineers that have never worked/ been successful outside of JC that creates this absolute nightmare of a situation. The good ones leave. You can feel the negativity in this place. The best description of working here I heard was being in an abusive marriage and that’s just what I can put out publicly. I will not even go into the blatant disrespect of person, customer and any semblance of morality. The bad reviews do not do this place justice. I had a realization a year in that I would not invest in this place or buy their products. Oh and don’t call that ethics line unless you want to get walked out like me. This place also still owes me money and is aware of it so they are thieves too
