Pros

Fine if your only other option is to sell a kidney Great if you are getting hired for a nice paying office job at the Hertz headquarter Provide decent training to employees and managers Truly promotes diversity

Cons

Not great if you are a happy person and you love life - Their company culture will change that Not for you if you despise 1990’s corporate culture and a boss acting like Bill Lumbergh from the movie Office Space Depressing if you’ve seen the movie Ted as it is pretty much the same thing You won’t be pleased if you don’t want to wash cars wearing a suit Not ideal for those who you don’t like the idea of getting yelled at all day long by customers asking “but why don’t you have the car I reserved!!!” Should you really work for a company ranked in the 10 worst companies to work for?

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
