Pros

Excellent engineering processes.

Colleagues are passionate about the products they design and engineer (most are, anyway).

Global company, job variety, cultural diversity.

Great engineering facilities.

Strong focus on quality improvement.

Cons

So many different engineering processes to track or follow takes up a lot of engineering time.

US-centric development processes and targets can miss the mark in other regions.

You have to love the job because hours are long and pay is low with respect to other engineering jobs.

Low quality work environment.

Chaotic approach to cost reduction.

Advice to Management

Show passion and enthusiasm for the work your teams do.

Encourage cooperation between departments.

Seek to simplify processes and communication channels.
