Pros

I was a test engineer and certified driver at MPG. I loved my job and got along with my co-workers. I gained many new skills and saw many cool prototypes on a daily basis. I was able to make company-wide impacts during my time there.

Great benefits, flex time (I was able to work remotely during my surgery recovery), and lots of PTO. I had two wonderful managers who gave great guidance for my success during my time there. As a result, I always achieved my CAP goals.

Cons

Zero transparency during layoffs (I was one of the victims). It looks like it has destroyed the morale of the group.

Needs improvement on transitioning skillsets and knowledge to the next workers, etc.

Advice to Management

Respect employees rather than view them as assets. You guys aren't bean counters.
