Pros

Good benefits. Strong company that makes good products. Tuition reimbursement is a strong benefit. Decent pay, though not as good as other companies laying for the same skill set. But a good, solid job.

Cons

Very difficult to move up. Lots of red tape that loses good talent. Very few promotion cycles and you cannot apply into the next level of the same job code. At least in my job code (not sure all around). It is very discouraging. This is why I say I am ready to cut my losses. 9 years of being a high performer with very little opportunity to develop is difficult for a high achiever with no desire to become a corporate drone. Pay is less, as I mentioned, than other places, and the benefits that make it worth working there otherwise are eroding.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
