Pros

- decent work/life balance, can get very busy seasonally - lots of hands on work/experience depending on Business Unit/Product - My team was very cool and flexible

Cons

- pay is not competitive at all relative to industry and responsibilities of this type of role, Electrical Engineers should be paid significantly more than most roles as most people cannot do those roles - teams are often stretched thin and overburdened - not many opportunities for growth

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
