Pros

Great benefits, but all going away in 2018. Layoffs come fast and hard so you don't have to worry about them for long. Great severance package if you have enough time in.

Cons

Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs. Promotion of incompetents to executive level positions. Slashing US workforce to make up for European shortcomings. Executive insisted we all report time in excess of 40 hours because "he knew we were all working that much". If you didn't comply you got fired. This would be illegal in Sweden.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
