Pros

Free gas and tolls, company car ($120 personal use fee per month), paid phone bill (up to $100?), robust training program, paid lunch when doing client visit ( up to $10-$20) . Nice office. Some good people

Cons

Low Pay. Incompetent management in engineering department that feels the need to micromanage engineers but never makes themself available for questions and never advocates for team. Management is very rude and down-putting to engineers they do not like or engineers who are not agreeable. Workload is unrealistic. Hard deadlines. You’re training manager will tell you your doing great and once you’re transitioned over to the group manager, they will have issues with the way you conduct your visits and write your reports. The mistakes of non-white, non-senior engineers are amplified while senior and non-senior white males make the same mistakes and have their reports automatically approved.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
