      Pros

      lots of research projects going on, cool science, large budget for capital expenditures, lots of equipment to use,

      Cons

      beneath the surface there is a lot of chaos, little direction and lots of blame when deliverables are due too hard to get the information I need to do my job too much information dumped on you at one time and they expect you to own it right away too much emphasis on "development" which is an extra task to do on top of your jobThe demographics are dissappointing - It's a good place for middle aged white men from the midwest They'll be flexible with you you, can take some time off, but that pile of work will be there when u get back and they will resume with all their questions and requests   cool research happening but its too hard to find out what ofher ppl are doing because you're so overwhelmed with running your own experiments, getting it to work, and then reporting that out through various channels, in various meetings, at different levels of detail. culture of being nice and indirect - very passive agressive - this is revealed during performance reviews which occur twice per year long standing relationships - people have known each other over 10 years, their kids know eachother - hard for a new person to get viewed objectively, easy for older ppl to get a pass on improper conduct, language in the workplace Ppl at this job have internalized the brand - hard to know if you're talking to a real person or a brainwashed person Lots of lip service around diversity equity and inclusion - ppl just repeat whatever the latest company policy is

      Cons

      Racist and sexist toxic environment. Management plays favorites. Non white and female employees have reported targeted harassment.

      Pros

      Focus on the safety culture is the best I've seen, top notch, and forefront in all decisions made at all levels of management from the technician on the floor all the way to the CEO. Benefits package is amongst best in industry. PTO policy is average and satisfactory. A diverse group of employees with lots of experience to aide newer employees with onboarding. A nice, robust training program for engineers and new employees to learn the job/plant. Great relocation program and associated benefits. A solid history of a very diverse company with a world-wide reach and impact. You're part of an organization that gives back to local organizations resulting in a positive impact to our surrounding communities. Environmentally responsible company that is committed and strives to make our planet cleaner. A large company with a lot of opportunity for growth. Great mentorship program for up and coming engineers that are currently in school looking for relevant experience that directly collates to their respective study program.

      Cons

      The value of the salaried worker has declined drastically in relation to company earnings and profit over the past two years. Work/Life balance is steadily increasing in the wrong direction with many hours spent at home and work to accomplish task given; Management is over-burdening the average worker and first level managers to the point of running them off. This is due to the second point, which is, they eliminate jobs and stack those responsibilities on others not otherwise qualified to perform various roles and responsibilities; This is also evident by their pursuit to eliminate mid-level management and hoping technicians without the education & experience will take over those responsibilities. The poor decisions of management at the Business Unit level and Senior levels of local Plant Management have created fictional, non-obtainable, unrealistic goals or metrics which resulted in the elimination of current and future raises, promotions, and bonuses for hard, overworked employees under them while they tell us once-a-month how well were doing in a video presentation to everyone.
