Pros

Leader of the industry, set the bar in terms of engineering. Training is outstanding. Work-life balance is dependent on your manager. Company outlook is tremendous.

Cons

Advancement is glacial, and often political. Crushing your metrics, and having excellent intangibles, does not guarantee anything other than a pat on the head. Likewise, the work is extremely independent, and peers can skate by for years producing nothing but steaming piles – only to hand over a project/location full of landmines (with no major penalties from management other than a stern finger wag).

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.
