Pros

- Some remaining great engineers that you can work with. - Office looks decent with nice cafeteria.

Cons

- Upper management only care about profit and will work you to the bones if needed. - A lot of overtime and micro-managing from upper management. - Lay offs of talented people in multiple departments: CTS, SCOM, Ground, Air. - Merit increases mainly for corporate and not for the little guys in 2025. - Cut of 9/80 schedule in favor for 9-5 schedule since upper management believe that working more will yield higher productivity. - The company doesn't make any profit and will likely be sold in parts or shut down within the next year or so. This will lead to more layoffs.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
