Pros

The benefits are great and job security is also fantastic! There is lots of room for movement within PACCAR as long as you have an undergraduate and/or graduate degree. The culture is also an 8am to 5pm culture which allows for a clear delineation between work and home life. Attention to detail is a major part of the culture which enables managers to be very knowledgeable of the business or team they may manage.

Cons

The culture is very business formal in dress so if a tie or business suit is not your thing then the PACCAR culture may not be right for you. If you are a male, you are expected to shave. Also, the company policy does not look favorably on working from home. Much of a manager's time is spent creating PowerPoint decks as opposed to managing their department.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
