Pros

work/life balance, 401K pckg, and decent salary

Cons

diversity is just a lip service meaning its not applied when giving promotions. Look at the team leads, managers, senior management..what do you see.. old white men who have been with company for ATLEAST 25 years. annual performance review is based on stupid ranking structure which is very very subjective and not at all objective. stop making so many stupid powerpoint slides and actually make decisions. stop hiding behind safety safety culture. career development plans are a big joke just to make the employee feel good.. not the place for people who are high potentials who want to move up fast. standard line: one needs to put atleast 20 years in the company to get somewhere,..

Pros

The paycheck still clears (for now, until your role is moved to Bangalore or Manila). ​The 9/80 schedule used to be a perk, but it’s hard to enjoy a Friday off when you spent the previous four days hunting for a desk like a game of musical chairs.

Cons

The RTO Charade: Leadership loves to talk about "collaboration," but the 4-day Return to Office (RTO) is clearly a quiet layoff tactic. They want people to quit so they don’t have to pay severance. The "Invisible" Office: It’s impressive how Mike Wirth can demand everyone be in the building while simultaneously removing the basic infrastructure of a workplace. No assigned desks, no storage, and literally no trash cans. Apparently, "Human Energy" includes carrying your own garbage home and spending 30 minutes every morning wandering the floor looking for a monitor that actually works. Leadership Vacuum: Les Copland is the definition of a CIO "yes man." Instead of standing up for the integrity of the tech stack or the US workforce, he’s overseen the systematic gutting of IT. It’s a race to the bottom to find the cheapest labor possible outside of the US, leaving the remaining domestic staff to clean up the inevitable mess. The War on American Workers: There is a blatant, aggressive push to minimize the American footprint. We are being phased out in favor of massive outsourcing hubs. You aren't a valued engineer here; you’re an overhead cost that Mike Wirth is looking to delete.
