Vantaggi

World class high tech products to work on.

Svantaggi

The company has become so focused on standardized procedures to do virtuallu all engineering. This has made even simple tasks take forever to complete, and also saps creative and innovative thinking. Engineers are becoming process driven robots that will complete engineering tasks by following a bewildering series of steps and documentation so numerous, that often they loose site of the more important aspects of the design. The result is often a poor design, when the process is supposed to be so thorough that mistakes are never made. Outsourcing is another mess because they rely too much on it. This leaves their own engineers acting as baby sitters to the outsource help, thereby eroding their own technical skills to do the jobs themselves. Workload and expected "casual overtime"? Do even get me started.

Vantaggi

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Svantaggi

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

Vantaggi

Decent pay and good benefits.

Svantaggi

Personnel reporting to me had apparently looked up my political affiliation (which I had never mentioned) and took exception to it by sabotaging work that I had supervised. This was well before 2022 - actually 2015-2016 (2022 is earliest review date I could select). I was just now remembering it. This polarized political posture was a function of the plant being near Harrisburg, PA which, at least then, was a somewhat "redneckish" area. I have never discussed my politics at work, so it seemed absurd of them to look up my party affiliation and take issue with it.
