      Pros

      work is fun, but depends on what you are doing

      Cons

      Pros

      A lot of great people. I was lucky to have a great boss and work with probably the best group of people in the whole company. Working here disciplined me to shave everyday and wear suits.

      Cons

      Unprofessional managers who have no business managing others and mistake leadership as forcing people to do things. Employees are encouraged to use managers as muscle to accomplish work rather than do actual problem solving. High turnover.

      Stable and some interesting projects

      Pros

      PACCAR is a stable company and if you position yourself well you can work on some pretty interesting projects. The EPA continues to tighten emissions regulations and so the trucking industry is always re-designing engines systems to meet new regulations. Although it can be tedious this work is super stable, e.g. they can't sell trucks after certain dates unless they re-design for the regulations.

      Cons

      The culture is a bit dated. When I worked there telecommuting was not a realistic option as management seems more concerned with seat time than results. Also, engineering work can be largely dependent on a CAD system that is (or at least was) slow and subject to frequent crashes. This wasn't a huge deal but could be frustrating.
