Pros

Global, nice colleagues and culture, one can learn a lot, respected brand in the market, speed/direct decision making recently

Cons

No care about people development, everyone is told career development is own responsibility, siloes between businesses and "clans" make finding growth opportunity in other businesses within the group practically impossible, artificial strong push to hire women to improve diversity compromises quality in number of cases

Pros

- Exposure to large-scale manufacturing systems and cross-functional projects - Can build strong manufacturing and quality engineering experience quickly - Competitive pay and solid benefits for the area

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
