- Only covers 50% of tuition reimbursement (after 1 year of service). Many companies pay up to 100% under the condition that you stay at least 1-2 years after completing your degree.
- Lowballs new graduates with little or no experience. They said there was no room for negotiation given that I had no experience.
- No cost of living adjustments
- No guarantee of annual raises
- Change is difficult to introduce if you are not a manager in any capacity
- Subpar 5% 401(k) matching vested immediately into company stock
- Performance review scores are relative to other people in your department, even if they are different skillsets. This means that you are likely to receive a "meets" rating even if you went above and beyond.
- Constantly understaffed, resulting in lots of unpaid overtime on some teams
- Not flexible with remote work, but not terrible either. At the Kirkland Kenworth division, you are eligible for 1 day a week for remote work after 6 months of service.
- High turnover rate
- Your work hours must cover between 10am and 3pm (in the Embedded Engineering department). This means that even if you come in at 5:30am, you can't leave at 2pm
