Pros

Flex Time is great and most managers let you work from home whenever you wish and engineering almost never has to be in the office during Covid. The facilities are also great.

Cons

Workload is your workload alone and although everything requires additional signatures and reviews, older coworkers are resistant to provide assistance based on workload and weird work environment that gives engineers a "sales goal" so they do not like working on things that don't add to their bottom line. A lot of middle management rises to their positions based solely off of tenure and are not value adding members of the team.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
