Pros

-Young co-workers; most straight out of college. -World-wide company; Internationally recognized -Ability to relocate easily -Many positions avaliable within the company in different departments and levels.

Cons

-Promotions are solely based on sales perfomance - it has nothing to do with your ability to lead and manage people. -Expectations and goals are unrealistic. -LONG hours. LOW pay. -Cleaning cars! Rain-sleet--heat-snow...it must get done! Customers need clean vehicles. -Unethical practices are what gets employees promoted. Extremely difficult to hit goals with selling and doing everything "by the book". Upper management looks the other way, because higher sales and more $$ for those individuals in turn brings in more $$ for them. -HIGH turnover rate.

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.
