Pros

Small company with less than 20 people means you'll be wearing a lot of hats. Depending on how you feel about pushing your own experiences and growth, this could be good (or bad). You'll definitely learn a lot and be involved with every department. They tend to put people in departments they are best at - so even if you get in for Manufacturing, you may be switched to Quality Control if you got the skills for it. Company is a skill-based promotion company so if you perform well, you'll get paid well. Once you pass the probation period (minimum 3 months), you can join their benefits package which includes health and dental. Standard holidays are off and PTO accumulates quick - I took a week off after a few months in, no problem. Company is pretty diverse. About 85% of employees are minorities, and about 50% are women. Recently, a lot more younger employees are joining the company - with a lot of them being straight out of college. A good stepping stone if anything since you have to follow FDA/ISO regulations - nice little add to the resume. They also really like birthdays here.

Cons

Rework of the management system means there no strong management right now. Sometimes you have a manager from a different department stepping in because your manager is busy. Which normally is fine, but it gets confusing when you get 2 different sets of directions and you're not sure who to follow anymore. Looks like a work in progress so hopefully it gets better. The company lacks in the evaluation of current employees. So unless you actively talk to your manager/the higher ups, it may be difficult for you to get noticed/get that promotion. The company also has a lot of different projects/clients. It can get confusing. Sometimes it feels like you're working with no end result because you don't know what anything is for.

Pros

It's really small company, so you can learn all processes if you want to.

Cons

Maybe it's the company culture, but my manager does not manage in a strong and constructive manner.. Yearly "self-assessment" activity is a joke. No opportunity to voice accomplishments and requests. High performers take pride in their work and want to show it off hopefully translating into recognition and compensation. Low performers need to hear constructive criticism to improve and become better contributors. Low performers are not given performance improvement goals and, as a result,… Most of them are chinese speaking.
