Pros

Good exposure to material-driven product development, cross-functional collaboration, and a wide range of customer-facing projects. The role provided opportunities to work on CAD, prototyping, manufacturability, and early-stage concept development across different market segments.

Cons

Project priorities could shift frequently, and the scope of work was sometimes broad compared with the available resources. Career path and role expectations were not always clearly defined, especially for positions that sit between design, engineering, and product development.

Pros

For the most part, I did not have to bring work home with me. Compensation was good. Benefits are on par with other corporations in the area, although they have been slowly eroding them.

Cons

Company still very siloed between the various business units. Middle and upper management do not work well with each other, and their strategy is not as clear as it could be. A lot of formerly in-house services have been outsourced, which has slowed down what were routine processes. Micromanagement seems to be on the rise.
