Pros

Mid-size company, stable operation.

Plenty of diversity and internal opportunities.

Good core competencies.

Great facilities.

Great benefits.

Cons

Long work hours, demanding schedules, and short staffing.

Potential for growth is there, but management does not seem to nurture or reward talent. Positions and work can stagnate, and there is hardly any engagement with developing a career path.

Advice to Management

Be more engaging with employees/engineers.

Assemble cross-collaborative teams.

Reward success more often than a yearly review.

Provide more feedback and institute greater accountability to drive the schedule.

Hire, restaff, and train new employees.

Set up channels for experienced senior employees to mentor junior or newly hired ones.
