Pros

The people. My colleagues are bright, dedicated and fantastic to be around. Being part of a large organization means that there is a wealth of resources and growth opportunities available.

Cons

Since the organization is so big, there is a lot of bureaucracy and procedures to follow, which can sometimes slow down innovation and productivity.

Pros

Great benefits. 5% 401k match. Plenty of overtime if you want it

Cons

The work shift pattern. 4 on, 4 off. Which alternates EACH SET from days/nights. 12 hour shifts. That typically turns into (due to overtime) 6 on 2 off. So a circadian rhythm does not exist. 1 day is to recover and catch up on sleep; the other day is to adjust to the other shift youre going onto. Makes it really difficult to maintain a good work/life balance. PRAY you don't get SAP plant. If you can avoid SAP then you will have a shot at success. SAP is a revolving door. Avoid at all costs. Brutal work environment. No moral and no one trying to boost moral. Its everyone vs everyone else. Should be a team but far from it. People stab in the back to advance their career. Sadly it works.
