Pros

the engine division is still profitable and stays ahead of competition. very diverse in product portfolio and markets served. senior leadership knows how to make balance sheet pretty to please wall st.

Cons

red tapes everywhere. bureaucracy. large group of mediocre or even incompetent middle management. efficiency can double if you fire half of them. relatively lower pay compared to industry average. sneaky and powerful human resource department makes you wonder who is really running the company.

Pros

Work from home, flexibility, paternal leave policy, pension plan

Cons

Pay is low and has not kept up with inflation. Leadership is only DEI hires, and they do not seem to understand the actual work being done. They are making life miserable for employees by adding unnecessary KPI's and performance tracking to make a name for themselves within the senior leadership. No loyalty for employees, they will let you go in the blink of an eye if the business struggles.
