Pros

* Great place to start career because of the experience you get * Salaries are right around average for entry level engineers * Hybrid job, work life balance depends on what team you are in

Cons

* Hard to get higher pay since it is a very corporate work culture * Because it is corporate, best way to get higher pay is to apply for another position within company or go somewhere else * No consistent schedule, will have weeks where it is busy and weeks where there is not much going on * Day to day test event have wildly different test hours

Pros

Flexibility in work The few remaining coworkers from the Ball days are great Can bank 400 hours of PTO

Cons

Since the transition from ball to bae, the company has decided to try and make life as unhappy as possible. They removed 2 weeks from our short term disability leave (was 6weeks for giving birth) They got rid of our sick time and made it all PTO and that transition caused us to lose time off in total Refuse to promote despite the levels changing and years of experience needed being lowered. They have capped the number of promotions a year then tell us that isn’t true and then refuse to do promotions that are desperately needed. Instead of promoting or giving decent raises they lose great people and constantly have to hire from outside for more than it probably cost to just promote. They started searching our bags? Random bag checks were just implemented. Getting anything approved is impossible (especially technology or training) Attrition is getting out of hand but all hands say everything is great despite everyone asking what they will do to help keep talent Pay is not keeping up and if you are an overachiever you will never be paid for that effort
