Pros

Latest technology in shop floor recent year, as before it never happen.

Cons

Salary below market rate. Useless HR never compare job market salary. In addition, full time employee with high qualification such as PhD or Master level with more than 10 years working experience end up same rank with junior level or graduate engineers. Not a good place to work if you are looking for excellent salary. A lot of useless senior managers around without proper qualification. never do their work properly and don't know anything about products, waste a lot time discussing about "football" or enjoying outside "smoking". Treat other engineers as second class citizen compare to R&D Engineers.

Pros

None whatsoever - terrible company to work for and culture not good

Cons

Typical capitalist American company. Paying the people at the bottom the very least so they can paying those higher up obscene amounts. Wouldn't recognise my previous experience to pay a slightly higher salary, when I had been earning much more previously. Then when started working we were paid the lowest salaries in the whole company even less then student interns doing summer jobs, and the No respect for the staff at the bottom. Was working in HR service centre for whole of UK, sending out employment contract and packs and saw everyone else's salaries. Wanted us to churn them out like a production line, more and more you are not doing as many as you should each day, do more and more. All errors etc logged and percentages accuracy and stats read back to you every week like a child. I quit after a few months, worth more than this. I wouldn't even bother, unless you are much higher up in the hierarchy.
