Pros

A lot of good employees, strong in what they do, a lot of knowledge to be acquired and knowledge and idea sharing is encouraged. Departments are driven by direct management, people don't get promoted into management roles if they don't fit them

Cons

The constant pressure to do more with less money (Automotive), especially since Corporate pulled the plug on most of capital investments into Automotive. The employees don't trust the Corporate leadership, especially since the recent announcement about the sale. The CEO gives a picture of a shady and dishonest person with his own agenda, much unlike the previous CEO.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
