Pros

Interesting work, good pay, flex time. We were treated well when the company was doing well. Serious attention to our physical comfort, nice building, safety issues always taken seriously. Training, conferences, any books we needed.

Cons

Frequent layoffs over the past few years, myself included. Still too many top level people vs. actual engineers. It started to become a case of who you know vs. what you know. Management doesn't seem to know how to get new work and the company is dying.

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.
