Pros

I like their empowerment culture which train leadership skills. it is a challenging working environment especially the amount of work was heavy. You can learn a lot of things.

Cons

The change of management team becoming a routine for every maximum 2years, CAPAs and improvement that are implemented often keep changing to fit the requirement of individual leads at regular basis which made the system unstable and always busy. No work life balance and lack of promotion opportunity.
