Pros

Great place to retire. Excellent benefits. Stable.

Cons

No upward mobility. Lagging behind most of the modern developed world - Google for images of the corporate office. Because of the previous point, PACCAR is in a rush to play catch up or make appearances to playing catch up. This has resulted in an erratic approach to most projects and implementation. The Agile process implemented at PACCAR has been subverted into a form of micromanaging.

Pros

The Technical Center is filled with capable people who are happy to share their knowledge with you. If you enjoy engineering, testing, and product development this is the place for you. There are not many jobs in this area that offer this type of employment which is why some employees drive over 100 miles daily. We are constantly expanding and have a great culture. There are many team building opportunities in and out of work.

Cons

The company is "old school" in many ways. Employees at corporate are required to wear suits etc. It seems everyone is petrified of senior management, ridiculous measures are taken when they visit which and everyone is expected to pretty much hide. At previous companies, you were encouraged to engage senior management and there was always a Q and A. Some of the software and processes are very antiquated. A look at the internal websites etc will remind you how old school the company is.
