Pros

Excellent benefits and location, onsite wellness center, free and discounted gym memberships available, many jobs have flexible hours.

Cons

If you are not a male engineer, you are in the minority and are treated a little differently. People are promoted to managers without being trained on how to manage people. Lots of chaos. Lack of process and lack of good tools for a corporation of this size.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
