Pros

Paccar is a decent company to work for depending on which unit or manager you end up with ( some units can be more toxic than others). Standard hours but not flexibility, benefits are okay but this is more of a plug and chug kind of environment

Cons

Management doormat listen to employees, no flexibility ( every other company in the PNW are willing to work with employees or even adjust not this place, no remote work ( gotta keep the middle managers happy and be stuck in your cubicle when you can get the work done elsewhere). Diversity? Lol nonexistent in management ( only a certain type are allowed to work their way up). Lastly, they use archaic processes and refuse to modernize the office thus slowing productivity and technology usage is minimal at best. Be wary of the sudden positive reviews, they don’t tell the real story.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
