Pros

The work is challenging and for the most part, the people are really great. Good family work/life balance. Most managers allow flex-time schedules which is a huge benefit.

Cons

The pay for newer technicians (<10 years) is extremely below the market pay scales. There are no longer pension plans, 401K match is a pathetic .375% match up to 8% of you contributions for the first 6 years, and the benefits keep eroding every year. Quality of life is actually decreasing due to no raises and several unpaid furloughs. Factor that in with the terrible morale due to layoffs, unpaid furloughs, promotion freezes, outsource everything they possibly can (at the expense of quality) and rumors of the company getting sold..... it is not a great place.

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
