Pros
Diverse teams, lots of great co-workers, improvement mindset, kaizen, learned a lot!
Cons
- Unconscious bias in workplace (one round of layoff, they fire only immigrants regardless of experience, years at company or degree) - Political promotions - Hiring of unqualified or underqualified people but actively hindered qualified experienced people from moving up if they do great work because they can't be replaced (I saw this a lot in the technical band) - Very hard to be promoted from technical positions. They promoted people from technical bands to R&D then sent them back to their original positions during layoffs but after layoffs, refused to give them those positions when hiring back because 'they couldn't be spared'. - Toxic management environment for higher levels (P2,P3,M1). Half of the project management and regulatory team quit in 2024 - Frequent changes in managerial direction (bought a plant in China, spent millions then closed it down. Made major, expensive changes but shut down the idea after money was spent. They cost the company LOTs of money (sorry for grammar mistakes, English is not my first language)
