Pros

Different projects and work life balance for some people. Health insurance and vacation package is decent. Can't think of anything else in the Pros.

Cons

Layoffs happens after every quarter. Upper management doesn't know what they are doing. Since mid last year their projections have gone wrong at the end of every quarter. My manager got laid off in the 1st quarter this year and 90% of my team got laid off this week. I was new to the telecom world and this company is not suitable for new comer. There is too much to learn in no time as the company is based on projects provided by the customer. If you are not billable to a customer project or your project comes to an end you have to worry about losing your job regardless of your performance. Projects and senior engineers on those projects are not friendly to new comers and expects them to know everything without any training. My advice is not to apply here if you are looking to learn or for growth in your career. Don't take a job here unless you have a masters degree and few years of experience.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
