Pros

Modern workplace, nice facilities including gym and offices. Free breakfast on Wednesdays.

Cons

Poor management at EDG. The managers tend to micromanage people and create a kindergarten like atmosphere. EDG is a ruse for them to get Technical support done by highly qualified people and their values have diverged from the company's core values. Work/life balance is screwed up since you have to frequently have to work 12hr days and the hard work you would put in is not appreciated but rather seen as standard expectations. None of the managers have technical skills so they frequently try to evade questions by asking the same questions back to people. "What do you think" is the most commonly used phrase here and there is never any logical explanation for anything.

Pros

- Great, intelligent people to work with - Decent work-life balance (nice to have gym on campus, etc.) - The company feels "young", which is nice for new graduates

Cons

- Low pay (we shouldn't have to rely on a stakeholder bonus to get a halfway decent salary) - Management is in general pretty awful - Too much emphasis on procedures and bureaucracy - Difficult to get promoted (not based on merit- my manager even told me I just haven't been here long enough)

Pros

Good name in the industry, Good compensation, Motivation to move out from EDG. Smart peers

Cons

Management in EDG doesn't care about ASE's career development or learning. All they want to do is save their a** and look good in front of higher management. The program is portrayed as one which gives flexibility and freedom to pursue your interests but that is rarely the case. Managers start thrusting some stupid timelines and documents on you and will keep wanting you to do more of Technical Support in the name of "Leadership Qualities".
