Pros

None. I'm required to place fillers here.

Cons

None. Tax credit hires. Terrible working conditions. Management plays favorite, and promote kiss-but employees. No one is your friend here. Management plays def to employee complaints, supervisors don't know what time it is, they lack basic education, and lack command for the English language. Supervisors lack the necessary tools to reduce overall cost, they lack the inability to improve employee performance, and also lack the ability to do their job effectively. The bottom line is that a high school student with 10 years work experience is trying to do what an MBA is prepared to do, and management still promotes supervisors that worked with them years ago. So the management will play favorite, even though these supervisors don't know what six sigma is even though its free to learn at the firm, these supervisors don't want to learn. So supervisors are just watching out that their jobs are not in or won't be taken away from them. Company is filled with engineers, and these people lack basic human interaction, and can't communicate effectively in person, and majority of times they are rude, condescending, and lack common courtesy to other employees. Employees with true management and leadership experience will usually be fired for unbeknownst reasons, because they pose the biggest threats to immediate supervisors. Managers overly train employees, which reduces employee performance, and even creates employee distractions. Supervisors if your training your employees with anything, let it be relevant to the employees actual work your wasting company time and money.

Pros

Very DEI focused, so would be good if you are a minority or female candidate interested in STEM fields.

Cons

Currently going through layoffs due to shortfalls in budgeting allowed by the state. California has planned for decarbonization of the state, mid to long range outlook not promising. Currently requires 4 days in the office.
