Pros

Great products, brilliant team of engineers. Global presence is strong with many opportunities for ISP's. Pay & benefits are excellent. Education training thru GMU is targeted and allows for good professional growth. Good team enviroment in Product Development which enables a critical focus on getting it right the first time. Advancement in automotive technolgy is at a lightning pace that is exciting and cutting edge.

Cons

Still a conservative white male bastion!! Worklife balance is considered a priority yet there are times that this is impossible due to timing demands. North American automotive market in general is decline and NA opportunities are limited.

Pros

I was able to learn some interesting things in robotics, computer vision, etc. These jobs can be hard to come by, so it was a nice entry point. Plenty of chances to prove your worth, considering the incompetence of some of the managers and leads (but dont expect to be paid for the effort, you gotta show the effort first and you *might* get an early promotion)

Cons

Layoffs are frequent and nonsensical. Absolutely no warning that it will happen, you just wake up one day with the meeting on your calendar. Pay is OK. After being laid off late May, I found a job in a month or two that paid more (150k base -> 180k base) The things I learned were almost entirely self taught. Leads and management provided zero structure. They didnt use jira at all. They didnt write up business requirements for projects. Leads didnt create technical requirements. Milestones were vague. Everything was completely unorganized due to the inexperience of upper management and engineering leadership.
