Pros

-Very exciting projects that you will learn a lot from -Good healthcare -401k match is amazing

Cons

-Salaries are lower relative to others in the industry and 401k match doesn't make up the difference -Unrealistic schedules -People joke about leaving a lot because of the above -Upper management seems intent on building burnout culture

Thank you for the balanced feedback - we appreciate the share in vision and purpose. We are also forwarding your your advice to management and reviewing our total rewards offerings to employees. Stay tuned for updates on equity/stock opportunities, future improvements to benefits packages and overall compensation/development and promotional opportunities. One note; replaced the 9/80 with Flex Time which allows teammates more opportunity to find balance. Many thanks.

Pros

-Best people to work with -One of the coolest projects in the industry

Cons

-Lower pay if you’ve been there more than 3 years -Middle management lets you know your replaceable -Unrealistic schedule -Good luck advancing in certain departments, if you aren’t in the good old boys club The company just Invoked a mandatory 15 hour a week OT requirement across the board. This is greatly disappointing since I know many employees took the job thanks to the 9/80 work life schedule. I feel incredibly bad for the younger generation of engineers, who will now be forced to burn out, on an otherwise great project.
