Pros

Benefits outside of pay are decent with higher than usual 401k (dependent on length of time with company), 18 days PTO, additional sick time, and employee discount programs. The company is under transformation and and anticipate better systems in 2023.

Cons

Higher focus on stakeholders than employees, 401k distribution is annual and dependent on meeting commitments to stakeholders, promotions/recognition is often based on relationships and not on value/contributions, individual training/coaching is minimal, assigned online training is not related to job which could be 20+ hours a year, focus on sales growth year over year without growth in the supporting teams, most technology is 15-30 years old, pay is average.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
