Pros

- Stable job (at least for now) - Low stress envirnonment for an engineer (not so much for a manager) - Flexible working hours and work / life balance - Own initiatives are welcome, although it's tough to get it thru - Pretty good social package

Cons

- Good, productive engineers should be acknowledged more - the discrepancy between employees' skills is huge, much less than their salaries - Historically underinvested tools - process of debugging is lengthy and painful (things are heading in right direction though) - Lots of legacy code, old technologies used - Perhaps not for very ambitious people

Pros

Culture, Camaraderie, Travel, Always evolving, Uses Skillbridge.

Cons

In my role, the only con I can even think of is Involving training teams in product development to get to know products as they are introduced.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
