Pros
Good job security due to working in the 911 domain. Option to WFH full time.
Cons
The majority of the engineering management are immigrants and they run operations like an Indian consulting company. Employees average around 2-3 % raise every year and the bonus is around $800. If you are in operations, you are required to stay on call once a month for 1 full week 24/7. Considering we support 911 applications, management expects you to sit at home and logged in. on average, each year you lose 2 long weekends and either Thanksgiving or Christmas. You are required to work off hours and handle calls in the middle of the night and over weekends. Company does not have standard policies on comp time for holiday work or off-hour work. You are solely at the mercy of your manager when it comes to comp time or performance reviews. Managers treat immigrant employees at a different standard when compared to Americans. Immigrant bosses expect immigrants to shut up and put in extra hours and they are ok with others taking time off. If you complain it will show up in your performance review.
