Pros

Each production site is a close knit, high functioning team. Lean staffing practices will challenge young talent early. Recent efforts around establishing rigorous business practices have been painful but, will pay off in the long term.

Cons

Senior leadership is comprised of expatriates who have little understanding of the US workplace/workforce and tenured Americans who have lost touch with that same workforce. Above a certain level, promotional opportunities are not available without expatriation although, those Americans who have expatriated do not fare any better concerning promotional opportunities. Business strategy is Euro-centric. Market intelligence that doesn't align with European projections is summarily dismissed. Significant regrettable departures in last 2 years at all levels of the organization.

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
