Pros

The company's leaders provides you great deal of flexibility and trust in leading new initiatives. Good place for young people who wants to immediately learn different sides in manufacturing business. Their development program is pretty good but you need to take the initiatives, no-one will take care of you if you sit in silence.

Cons

They keep hiring external consultant for strategy but after few years they forgot about it. Same goes when management change, they seemed to want to reinvent the wheel. Career promotions is rather unclear, no succession planning in place.

Pros

At a ground level there are a lot of decent people trying to work hard and do the best they can. The company clearly really want to succeed and make money. There is, and had been in the past, a lot of potential.

Cons

Poor management has lead to very bad communication throughout the company. There seems to be a lot of nervousness as to whether people will be upset if they are told things. There has also recently been a large focus on short term profit which may create lasting damage, fortunately this seems to have been recognised and I've heard that things will be changing.
