Pros
- You can cash in your vacation time, up to 1 week. - Health benefits are fully paid. - Work with the latest and greatest technologies.
Cons
- Not many internal folks are promoted. They keep hiring managers from outside. - If you don't know someone, they don't say hi to you. They keep looking at the floor until you pass by. Some say hi, but most don't. - Only 18 days of vacation and sick time. Even if you're a veteran, everyone starts off with 3 weeks off. - No work life balance. Have a kid? Going to school? Have activities planned for the evening? Then don't work here. - You can work from home on some days for emergencies only, but it's hard to get. You're pressured to come in anyways, even when there's dangerous road conditions (snow, flooding, etc) where you live. The managers don't care. -Bonus structure is changing. For the last 3 years, it used to be 5 weeks pay, paid in December, but now they're pushing it out to Jan/Feb. If the company hits 90% revenue, you get 50% of your bonus (10% salary is still the target). If company gets 91%, you get 55%, 92% gets you 60%, etc. If company makes over 100% revenue target, then you get a 1% match. - Next year's bonus will be 50% company revenue target and 50% goal targets. - Some of the engineering managers are useless. All they do is stop by and gossip, complete waste of my time.
