Pros

Decent benefits, great work schedule, most of the management is really nice

Cons

Benefits are eroding slowly, our facility is growing rapidly and changes are happening haphazardly. No room for growth outside of management track.

Pros

- Lots of room for career growth - Stable company with pension plan vested after 5 years - Great health coverage for yourself and/or family - Introduced HDHP plan so you can qualify for HSA, beginning January 2022 - Most managers are willing to help you get to where you want to be - Company maintains professional dress code - People are willing to help you if you ask for help - Diversity council has great influence on "diversity and inclusion" if you care about that. They have involvement with some of the company directors so change is very possible. - Leadership treats everyone with respect

Cons

- 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
