Pros

Good salary and additional benefits if full time role. Salary on time. Financially backed well by large telecom in KSA. Work life balance to a large extend.

Cons

Priorities keep changing. No career growth. The comfort you earn will make you rethink every time you try to resign from your job, depending on your mindset. You can survive here if your focus is only to make some quick bucks and forget your career. Core values and culture only in papers. Looks like a product company, but works like services. Company is always in a state of unrest/unsettled. Doesn’t focus more on things that add value to product. Kind of slow environment. Not a typical technology company you would expect, especially you come from core company values and culture env. Weak managers and tech leaders in the company limits further growth in all aspects. Individual contributors, product engineering etc. Promotions eligibility is either resign from work and demand or have a very personal relations with engineering heads who can recommend you. This is no way related to your performance at all, but very much personal.

Pros

IMPORTANT! - First of all, understand that there are TWO companies called "INTIGRAL"! One in the USA, one in Saudi Arabia. As you read the employee reviews, please discern which company the review may have been left for. I worked for the one in the USA which makes glass windows. 3 Ohio Plants: Walton Hills, Austintown and Twinsburg. Benefits were great. My experience in having to do a wide variety of different jobs there helped me to get my current job. I enjoyed working with almost everyone there and I appreciate what the company did for me but I'm so glad to be out of there.

Cons

I worked at the Walton Hills plant. My job quickly became something outside my training, education and what I was hired for. That really bothered me. Money was less than average for the industry. Mid-level and Upper Management changed often. "Micro-Management" was their way to get their results. Toxic. Production is 24/7. EVERYTHING operates with labor, maintenance, planning, and supplies at the BARE MINIMUM. Every time something happened that was not routine (which happened frequently), everyone had to scramble. Dirt, broken glass, old equipment, and loud machines were everywhere. Management thinks they are "empowering" their workers by letting them ask for whatever they need. They rarely get it. Every day, more and more responsibility is placed on everyone's shoulders but they get very little help, support or cooperation. Everyone is exhausted trying to fulfill their long list of responsibilities which tends to grow. Management constantly pushes, demands and yells. Everyone's attitude is to just get the job done so they can go home. There is very little positive incentive or encouragement to do a good job. If your life's goal is to work, especially if you like glass, it's a great place. Those people who spend long hours and weekends working there tend to do well. However, if you want a good balance between work and home, this is a bad place for you. Things are better at the smaller Austintown plant. The Twinsburg plant is nice and makes a great new product if only the bugs can be worked out.
