Great work environment. Excellent competent and professional employees.

corporate vision changes every 2 months and management is chasing the latest re-organization. Poor market strategy and in the midst of major restructuring, thus causing instablity in US facilities and many rounds of layoffs.

Pros

One can sleep well at the end of day. No overtime, not stress...

No difference between exceptional vs. average. Upper mid management ... not up to task. No one is ever responsible. Always is some kind of steering group!
