Pros

If you work hard and achieve success, you will get noticed and have opportunities to get ahead. The old seniority system based on following rules and orders has finally broken down. Talent and potential matter. The winners will work longer than 8:15 to 4:30, but the long term rewards are there. The company is on the right track. There are opportunities for good lateral and international moves as well.

Cons

Be prepared to be surrounded by some longer term employees who don't like the changes, don't like the higher performance work culture and don't have a strong work ethic. However, there is still decent work/life balance if you recognize that a work week is somewhat longer than 37.5 hours.

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.
