Pros

Good benefits and lots of emphasis on CSR and ethics. Lots of eLearning opportunities and well known in the industry.

Cons

Leadership leaves much to be desired. It depends on who you know to move up. Not much opportunity to explore. Salaries can be quite stagnant if you stay for long unless you know people who can push you up. Too much paperwork and administration.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
