Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very competitive. The bonuses for managers is hard to find else in industry. The 401(k) is 10% match, pretty sweet.

Cons

The company culture has changed for the worse. Overtime is expected for some jobs without overtime pay. There is extreme siloing between departments. Managers do not share the same goals, which makes it hard to get your own projects completed. Engineering managers are not required to have any technical background.
