Pros

some cool and nice ppl easy laid back workplace free food in engineering dept often low stress slow paced but can get busy during crunch time. company events they go big on everything if you like to eat. monthly birthday celebration in engineering. some good equipment to do job but can be better.

Cons

managers and senior management in engineering are very poor at leveraging expertise and experience of their hired staff, they all seem like nice people that mean well but their daily actions speak otherwise. reviews on micromanagement are correct, managers need to manage their people more and delegate work effectively to the proper ppl who can finish the job effectively. reviews on work ethic correct, one of my coworkers walks in late daily and leaves early and does not appear to be too busy ppl do walk out early often in general in engineering it does not look good to others I concure. Some managers do not even show up for work and nobody knows where they are including their staff when asked. work is not too stimulating often and managers are control freaks who are given too much control. pay could be better for area other companies compensate better based on experience. I cannot recommend zodiac at this time sorry my exp here as been dissapointing and overall they need to improve things to make it a great place to work and stay at for the long term. I read a few padded postive reviews on here which does not match up to what I experience daily at work but it is a big company with many depts. It is not a horrible place to work but ymmv depending on your career goals and desires how you feel day in and day out or how you are treated, some people are treated better than others where I read favortism which is also true to a point in engineering. People do not complain openly because they are trapped or do not want to rock the boat or fear by saying anything would get them fired because they have fired some ppl for going against the grain a few times in my tenure.

Pros

-control over your own schedule/independence -minimal micro management -opportunity for advancement

Cons

As of today it was announced the 9/80 flexible every other Friday off schedule is no more. This is a warning to potential employees. For me this was a huge perk and critical to work/life balance. It is very unfortunate and I am reconsidering my future with this company. The current job openings however still advertise the 9/80 schedule so be aware Management also continues to make decisions that are supposed to save money but end up creating more waste and spend more money than they are worth.
