Pros

National company, free rentals when you fly to another destination

Cons

Mismanaged terribly, managers use the trickle down effect. If numbers aren't where corporate wants them to be, they blame everyone else below them. Health benefits are a nightmare! They hire a 3rd party company to verify eligibility. They are awful to deal with (Cosova). I had to verify my daughter was my daughter and my wife was my wife by affidavits, marriage licenses, birth certificates, and private bank account information just to get insured. This is all done in house. It has nothing to do with United Healthcare (who are actually decent). They said that still wasn't enough proof of marriage! They wanted our tax return as well. Poor management. My company issued computer was stolen out of my company vehicle which was locked. Hertz made me pay them back for the computer, when the same thing happened to others and they didn't have to pay back. Also, the territories are awful and the pay is less than adequate. They make many promises that they do not keep in the end.

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.
