Also, there's definitely some bureaucracy that comes with being a large, global electronics manufacturing company. This means approval processes and getting things moving can take longer than you'd expect, which can be a bit frustrating on fast-paced projects.
Advice to Management: Management should look into streamlining some of the internal approval processes to speed up project execution. Also, making career progression paths clearer and more transparent for engineering roles would be beneficial for employee retention and motivation.
