Pros

Some talented engineers as coworkers, work schedule 9/80 and great benefits.

Cons

EOIS leadership, senior managers and directors are borderline incompetent, horrible lack of communication, constantly changing priorities and ridiculous reliance on workforce tools to determine how many “heads” have program work to do with no actual understanding of the work engineers actually do. Constant micromanaging by mid levels managers or no management whatsoever with no consistency at all.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
