Pros
-When they laid me off, they gave me more than the six months of severance that the employee handbook said. They gave ten months, so the extra four months came in pretty handy. -Relocated office to an Indianapolis suburb, so quite convenient for people who already lived there and were commuting to Kokomo -Hiring software engineers, so there may be a career path -Working from home during the pandemic worked better than many other companies -Interesting projects -Contentious Engineering coworkers, so this would be a good intermediate stepping stone as long as you don't expect more for your career
Cons
-Many of those that got laid off got little severance -No longer a career path for US-based electrical or mechanical design engineers, or manufacturing engineers -For US-based workers, there can be late night conference calls along with early morning calls to accommodate coworkers in China, India and Europe.
