PACCAR reviews

Mediocre pay for the area. Most of the interesting content in the field is diluted by months of management overhead, weak communications between groups and divisions, and slow development cycles. Corporate culture is a bit of a throwback to earlier years - strict dress code, micromanagement in day-to-day tasks, and random unannounced visits from upper management who are disconnected from engineering a large majority of the time. Very high turnover for a engineering division of a mature company.

"Us vs. Them" mentality. Afraid of change. Quantity is more important than quality resulting in substandard products being released in order to reach deadlines set by technologically impaired or inexperienced management. Teamwork is advertised yet rarely accomplished because of refusal to work together when needed.
