Pros

- Fast Paced - Great Schedule - lots of knowledgeable engineers.

Cons

The company should allow work from home days other than Friday. Commuting just to sit in front of a computer all day.

Pros

Overall, it provided an opportunity to learn about new things and industries. The culture can be fun and energetic (very dependent on the office). Friendly co-workers.

Cons

Compensation was initially bad but improving. Expectation to work long hours for long periods of time, instead of hiring more people to better manage the workload. Then, when engineers work the long hours, it's simply 'part of the job' or 'required to meet project needs'. At times, felt like seniors were oblivious to what was happening in the office.

Pros

Senior engineers are Experienced and highly qualified have been in the industry 25+ years

Cons

Work is done by a few individuals and the culture is focused on overworking high performers and lack of ownership by the rest. Lack of leadership and senior managers are the quintessential engineer that lacks communication and management but can do math and solve complex problems.
