Pros

Many opportunities to make an impact and learn. Tons of smart minds that are happy to help.

Cons

Requirements aren't always defined. A lot of intuition can be required sometimes just to understand what needs to be done. Office politics can bog down work.

Pros

Work can be exciting and challenging. Can provide opportunities for growth

Cons

The company has a poor culture where employees complain about being fired for making safety complaints and more. Company doesn't truly value employees and can make up spurious documentation against employees to justify terminating them. They go ahead to tell the employees within that those complaining are disgruntled, continuous gaslighting cycle.

Pros

The projects we work are what brought me here, and have not disappointed. Very interesting work. You work with very high quality engineers. If you see something you want to do, you can just do it and no one will stop you. Showing ownership is encouraged and rewarded. Compensation and reward increases are generous and seem given fairly. Growth trajectory looks promising from both a career and company standpoint.

Cons

The work can be demanding. People who feel deep ownership and responsibility for their work will succeed, but if you don’t, the demands may not feel worth it to you. This won’t be a company for everyone. At the same time, avoiding burnout is a priority for management and roles are being added as fast as possible to reduce workload.
