Pros

Work-life balance is nice. Majority of engineering and office staff works 9/80s. Benefits are decent.

Cons

If you are a self-starter looking to advance in a workplace. This is NOT a recommended job. Management has a major disconnect from the rest of the site. They will rarely even acknowledge your existence let alone interact with you. No matter how hard you work... Work ethic is destroyed here as you will receive the same respect and recognition as your coworker who puts in little to no effort each day. If anything, it will likely kickoff an uneven work distribution where you're carrying twice the workload as the 'Sr. Principal Engineer' making double your salary while playing on their phone each day. The salaries are subpar, ~10% less than competing tech companies in the area. Annual merit increases are 2.5%-3% each year. Promotions happen at standard rates every 4 years or so. Being a good employee with a powerful skillset and initiative makes no difference here. If you're looking for an easy paycheck where you can get by doing the bare minimum. This is your dream job.

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.
