Pros

There are technical experts working in the company and they are always willing to guide and share their knowledge.

Cons

(1) Generally bad management. Top management lack foresight, middle management lack courage to report ground situations, resulting in disconnect between top management and ground level working engineers. Ideal solutions are passed down by top management which do not work for the issues at the ground. (2) A fair fraction of middle management are more interested in politics. Strangely, people with poor technical skills and knowledge usually opt for management track in this company. Those middle management with poor technical skills and lack of courage to set directions, but coupled with a strong ego to win in argument, are usually the ones who makes your life miserable with office politics, on-top of your daily technical issues to work on.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
