Pros

Free coffee. Not a lot of pros.

Cons

This is the company for you if - You like working through weekends and all family holidays. Believe it or not they actually cheer and applaud people who work through weekends and family holidays. Like backstabbing. Like being worked to death, chewed and thrown away. Like a software bully. Like unhealthy work environment.

Dear Former Employee, We really appreciate your years of service to DWFritz. It is true that occasionally working outside of normal hours may be necessary to get the job done - we are in the world of advanced manufacturing after all. However, our resource planning is conducted with 40 hour work weeks in mind, and our agile staffing model allows us to quickly bring in new employees and contingency resources as we have long-term and short-term increases in volume. We continue to make strides ensuring a work/life balance for our employees, both in our work processes and our employee programs, but we do acknowledge that our rapid growth came before we were able to get some of these things in place. We hear your feedback and are working to make sure this experience is better for current and future staff. Sincerely, Talent & Organizational Development

Pros

The office is kinda okay?

Cons

If you're doing controls engineering be prepared to work ludicrous hours. Like 100hrs/week at times. And plan on being gone overseas for 4 weeks at a time, the "3 week travel" turns into 3 weeks straight of working 14 hour days with no days off then a "hey we really need you to stay another week." There's a very real risk of spending enough days in China that you are subject to their income taxation requirements.
