Pros

Global brand recognition. Fair benefits, 4% matching of 401K after a year of service. Opportunity to switch team at another state or country. Hybrid schedule. Ample free parking spaces.

Cons

Freshies and experienced start at the same pay rate. No profit-sharing, no bonus, no merit raise. Yearly increase of up to 3% for everyone regardless of performance. No promotion unless management retire, quit or get fired. Management are a mix of inexperienced, prejudiced, overbearing and egotist. Division and favoritism, partly brought on by crony hires. Double standard on work arrangement, some with rigid while others have flexible schedule. Rampant exploitative and no-cost (to tightwad upper management) activities such as employees are made to do rotational frontdesking and technical stuff including setting up new hires' workstation (no onsite I.T. bcoz it cost $). Continual reminder sent out to bring treats for communal sharing and to sign up for potlucks. Even the company anniversary celebration was a potluck event. Team events prize is temporary extra WFH day. Celebrating your work anniversary or birthday? You will be get a DIY e-card, signed by those who like you. Seriously, can they get any cheaper? Sole Director's Choice Award is misleadingly rebranded as Employee of the Month Award (a one-time, $250 prize added to paycheck) and with no transparency and visibility into judging criteria, nominees and nominators.

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
