Pros

Benefits are good; Stock Purchase Program, Salary decent, Work From Home During Pandemic was helpful.

Cons

Redundant and Absent Upper Management Ineffective and Inexperienced Leadership from Middle Management, too many "Yes" people who only care about their own careers and taking credit for your work Management more concerned with using big buzz words to sound smart versus actually speaking to you and learning something. Afraid to make simple decisions; turning on a light switch requires 3 dozen people and 100 meetings and complete agreement by all. Antiquated Technology More Concerned with telling staff they care, then actually caring and fixing issues staff tells them multiple times Bonuses and Raises not determined based on your work, but on who likes you, even people who have never worked with you have a say Unclear, Unrealistic and Unintelligable Yearly Goals...when you ask HR to explain your goals and they cant, thats a problem No one will help you, essentially dropped in a desert and told to fend for yourself. You are not allowed to speak to anyone more than a one level above you Treated like a child They have absolutely no idea and no interest in maximizing talent. Inability to get employess back into the office if they want to Everything is dependent on you, your management will not help your career, then will no nothing about what you do unless you tell them and it is your fault if you dont

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
