Pros
When working on a launch in manufacturing or in pre-build planning stage, there is a good buzz about the place and had many days of feeling busy and satisfied with my work. Colleagues in manufacturing are down-to-earth and friendly. Foreign expansion in last 3-4 years means plenty of opportunity to progress both in UK and abroad. Finish at 12 on Fridays and paid overtime.
Cons
Poor advance planning, little emphasis on design for assembly although always hear about plans to address this. More difficult to move roles in manufacturing than product development. Rush to get the product through planning gateways while ignoring big issues. Parking on most sites is a nightmare.
