Pros

-Off Fridays! -Can flex your work time -People are generally nice -Pace of work is slow and mostly low pressure -Lots of young people bringing in new energy

Cons

-Lots of employee turnover in engineering -Benefits are really lacking (terrible medical plans, avg. 401k, very restricting educational assistance, almost zero company perks, etc.) -Company morale is extremely low -Minimal pay increases and small competitive bonuses are not incentivizing -Poor mentoring and training for new engineers and technicians - not a learning culture -Training budget got eliminated -Very slow promotions and career growth for most. There is no transparency in career path and salary. -Over hired engineers in 2017 and people got shifted into places they were not hired for -Management communications are not transparent and the employee surveys are a big joke instead of development opportunities

Pros

Decent benefits, high quality/moral teammates

Cons

Low pay. Overworked employees (most people are taking on multiple roles (usually would be the work/expectation of two, sometimes three or more employees/roles) with no increase in pay. Practically everyone eats lunch while they work. You are paid hourly and have to track your hours, ensuring every hour is given the appropriate charge code, even if you are a full-time "salaried employee". You are not allowed to work overtime without permission and working overtime is just more hours at your usual pay rate. Management is mostly incompetent. At my last one in one meeting with my manager, he said, "So, I gave essentially this same feedback in everyone's quarterly review. I expect you get more tasks done, to do them on time, and to start investing in AI." I actually called him out and said, "I need to push back on what you are asking of me because... I do an of that and more. Especially in regards to AI. You simply do not have enough time with the employees that you manage and...you don't know what we're doing." All he said was, "That's fair." and said things were changing with his latest project finishing up (it's been done for close to a month now. While there's more I could report on, those are probably the biggest concerns
