Pros

Vacation package and benefits are good.

Cons

Incompetent first-line management that just takes orders from above. Do not expect to be rewarded for your achievements. There are always budget cuts, travel cost cuts, and little to no money to reward top performers. The overall age of employees is on the older side, and all of the older employees refuse to train younger engineers due to the fear that their jobs may be taken over.

Advice to Management

Stop treating employees as disposable and recognize them as human beings.
