      Good to start, have to move on

      Software engineer ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good base pay out of college, great work life balance

      Cons

      Yearly raises lag, hard to significantly increase pay without leaving. "Bonuses" are a joke, $200 a year no matter how the company is doing.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits - Relaxed atmosphere - Hands-off management

      Cons

      - Pay low-to-mid end for KC metro, although getting better - Amentities on campus are pretty limited. Cafeteria is more expensive than eating out (and significantly lower quality) and workout facility is very limited

      Highly collaborative

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Well-diversified stable company, separate segments serve numerous markets (aviation, automotive, automotive OEM, marine, outdoor, fitness) - Variety of types of embedded development work depending on the segment, including some interesting innovation. - Highly collaborative environment, emphasizes face-to-face interaction and individual ownership/initiative - Your role is not dictated by your title, tenure, or org chart. Pay, responsibilities, and autonomy grow organically with your initiative/contribution. - Plenty of opportunities for growth on either the "technical" or "management" tracks - Company does its own manufacturing (in US and Taiwan), very little outsourcing of any kind. - Good benefits - Approx 40hr work-week is just fine most of the time (good work-life balance)

      Cons

      - Many segments develop using languages and operating systems that aren't considered cutting edge (C/C++ and in-house OS) - Due to company size, some types of technical and process improvements can be difficult or slow to make. - Less flexible than some companies regarding when working hours occur, work from home, etc.
