Pros

Join if: (a) if you are in you mid-career and you really don't care as long as you get your paycheck. (b) if you have a false opinion that you are smart but you really are mediocore compared to the general population in terms of the technical talent. You'll fit right in. (c) if you struggled through your engineering courses (and you just couldn't get them) and you just can't wait to start a job "somewhere". And you believe that once you are in you'll have the opportunity to explore your true passions by doing different things. (d) If you don't believe in work-life balance and you also don't believe in work.

Cons

Don't join if: (a) you are young and have lot of energy to take on challenging technial work (b) you enjoy good pay (c) you have the courage to work hard and differentiate yourself from your peers and you enjoy being recognized for your hard work (by money/bonuses/promotion) and not be empty words (d) you hate office politics (e) you don't believe in groupism

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
