      A decent place to get some experience.

      Pros

      Being in the field of technology, this place brings a major challenge--in a positive and negative way. The positive being that there's no other enterprise environment regarding networking around the area and that hands-on experience is invaluable. Past that, the health benefits are ok (very high deductibles). The PTO is definitely one of the highlights of the compensation package (3 weeks at the start of every year). But be careful when it comes to choosing roles or else you may never get to truly enjoy your PTO. They will pay 100% to get an Associates degree if you don't have that already and will also reimburse some money back for getting a Bachelor's as long as you commit to working 2 years are obtaining the degree.

      Cons

      This company operates on a lot of old-school politics and elitist ideas unfortunately, so getting though that can be quite a challenge. Promotions and role changes are heavily influenced by who you know and how you present yourself (male or female) rather than being performance based. There are a lot of people in leadership that are just there because they've always been there or simply because a higher-up is buddies with them and have no actual business being in leadership.

      Poor Management and the Struggle for Resources

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent 401k match of 6% right from day 1, no vesting period Alright PTO compensation at 17 days as starting employee, with option to purchase up to 10 days Internal process to learn design guidelines was good Decent co-workers within BU both locally and abroad

      Cons

      Engineering jobs being moved from US to Mexico and Germany to Romania to reduce costs Lots of meetings making it hard to get work done Watched many star employees leave after being overworked into the ground Managers have poor communication with project teams and how many resources they need Project teams never staffed enough Requests for more resources to meet project timing always responded with it's not in the budget American and German management communication is poor and not well aligned Work life balance is spotty No additional PTO until 8 years of employment Meetings with China outside of working hours at times like 5am and 10pm Not sure what point the company goals serve, you're disposable like at any other American company
