Pros

Company leadership has integrity and values employees. Big emphasis on work/life balance with reasonable workload. Coworkers willing to go the extra mile to help each other. Exciting and every changing engineering work with unique challenges each project cycle.

Cons

Difficult to get hired into the company due to narrow requirements on GPA and other factors. Once hired, very difficult to get fired so there is a small percentage of dead weight in the company.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
