Pros

The pay was good at one point, After inflation they became lower rung. They do not provide cost of living adjustments.

Cons

The pulse check that HR tells people to use is meaningless. Over 40% of the company suggests not working here. The environment is toxic from the top down. Upper management will admonish individuals utilizing mass email tags, thousands of people see it. They even attempt to implement HR guidelines that focus on individual appearance. There is a complete disconnect from the customer. Upper management never listens to direct contact. If an attempt to correct an obvious issue is made, it will come to a stop due to people lacking initiative and flexibility. A very common sentiment is, “that is not my responsibility”. HR is useless, complain and they will find a way to fire you. Document every toxic interaction and prepare to share it with a lawyer. Do not make friends here, the ones that like this place are the toxic ones. They will forget to pay you, and then tell you that you must wait until the end of the month. They will tell you that you will get a bonus, and then say no when they are to pay it out. They even do this when it is in writing.

Pros

Strong technical expertise within the organization. Exposure to a broad range of customers and applications.

Cons

My experience at this company was disappointing due to a lack of transparency, consistency, and fairness in enforcement of company policy. Compensation for employees in the same or similar roles varied significantly, with decisions often appearing to be based on individual manager discretion rather than clear, objective criteria. I also observed what appeared to be gender bias in pay decisions. Additionally, there were employees who contributed very little while others carried a disproportionate workload. This was extremely demotivating for those who worked hard, as there appeared to be little recognition or reward for taking on additional responsibility and delivering results.
