Pros

Good Full-time benefits and the people are nice and easy-going

Cons

The position, "engineer" ,is degrading here. The training is endless but you wouldn't really grow as an engineer. You're actually a monkey doing the same repetitive tests for clients and the motivation is dry. There is a lot of mis-communication between what goes on between the upstairs business politics and the downstairs labs.

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.
