Hi there, This doesn't sound all too good! Our employees are very important to us, so we feel bad that you feel this way. We don't want anyone to over-do it. Did you speak to an HR-colleague about this already? We realize that you are not a machine, but a human being like all of us. Thanks for sharing your review and we wish you a good day.

Pros

Reasonable salaries, low pressure, reasonable hours

Cons

Every management fad from the last two decades: Lean + Six Sigma + CL + Kaizen + Agile. Engineering management doesn’t understand how engineering works. Horrible semi open office environment
