Pros

There are opportunities if you connect with the right people and you actively seek out chances to do more. Group leader jobs now go through an interview process instead of just giving to the most senior employee, so employees who just want more money aren't in charge.

Cons

Company is really top-heavy; lots of VPs reporting to other VPs, reporting to directors, who report to executives, yet the employees who actually make the products and support the products work an insane number of hours each week because they are understaffed. Hit your numbers, hit your numbers, yet the office people waltz in whenever they want, then walk to mcdonalds every morning, then leave any time they want. HR is a joke, entire HR team has turned over twice in the last 5 years and they refuse to help the employees with anything, that is, if they are even around, they are almost never at the office. I don't want to call some phone number for help with benefits, you help me! That is HR's job! No flu shots, no holiday dinner, no five dollar honeywell calendar, none of it. You can't just take, take, take. At some point, you have to give us something, or something will give on our end!

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
