Lacks diversity of thought, experience and perspective

Pros

Relatively good work-life balance. If you're tied to the Great Lakes Bay Region there are few other employers of any size and/or significance. It takes very little education, experience, or effort to stand out from the crowd. Maybe a great place for an engineer who is ready to ride-out the rest of his or her career.

Cons

Very old-school, archaic thinking. The company values conformity rather than calculated risk and innovation. Poor management development. Lacks both surface-level and deep-level diversity. Poor HR policies.

Pros

Viable financial position and getting better. The new president has enriched the company's opportunities and global prospects, but he has a lot of work ahead of him. New outside team members that the new CEO brought into the engineering team are making a good difference, but not fast enough.

Cons

Condescending attitude towards women in the engineering group, seen more as administrators and are basically invisible even as engineers and program managers. Only seen as someone who needs to be mentored. Very little opportunity to contribute at a high level due to all the near-term retirees who have a strangle-hold on the engineering departments, new ideas are threatening and intimidating, speak your mind and you're gone. An entire group of top-notch engineers, project managers and sales executives left the company about 2 months ago, due to lack of vision in the engineering department. Women are not regarded as a part of the team. Vicious in-fighting, lack of respect between peers, verbal abuse of global counterparts, parochial attitudes and old-style fiefdoms, total lack of any real global collaboration. They need to clean house and retire the soon-to-be retirees who are just sitting their making work for themselves, killing time and making no visible contribution (office of program management is a good example) to the bottom line, nor to any engineering intellectual property.

Pros

Great place to try out new ideas. No one is gonna stop you to learn outside of your job area.

Cons

- Absolutely zero coordination among different teams. Multiple teams working on the same problem statement. - CEO basically wants to shut down US operations slowly. - Managers have no clue about the product roadmap and software engineering - Multiple layoffs, reorganizations mainly cos of ego issues - SbW has been in development phase for more than a decade and they are no where close to production. - Systems Engineering activities and Software Engineering processes are an absolute joke. - No vegetarian options or considerations for inclusivity. - Incompetent people get promoted to director levels just because they know people in C suite - One of the C-suite leader was laughing and joking while announcing layoffs.
