Difficult environment

Pros

The working level co-workers are the best because you are all stepped on by HR and management. You are only there because of the people around you and the desire to not leave them holding the bag

Cons

1. Low Salaries compared to the OEMs and competitors 2. Expectation of significant overtime with a pat on the back being the only compensation 3. During all employee meetings and other large meetings, HR blocks the questions they don't want made public to the rest of the organization. Hard to ask for changes when they won't answer questions openly. 4. HR talks down to employees and holds so much power that it's better to leave the company and return instead of work hard and prove your worth 5. Extremely complex engineering process with little knowledge in upper management of the work required 6. Amount of work required on projects is 2-3x managements expectation.

Process-oriented workflow

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

- Friendly and supportive teammate

Cons

- Awful project planning and resource management, OT is a norm - Too much process to follow, time wasting and no value-added - Not suitable for those who seek for technical growth as you might end up doing documentation work and process work all day just to fulfil the QA standard - Boring and repetitive work
