Pros

The engineers and technical staff were experienced, kind, and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

HR has been an absolute nightmare to work with after leaving the company. I was forced to promptly leave the company after 10 months of employment to help assist my parents due to a COVID related issue. The contract I signed at the beginning of my employment that I would have to repay all relocation slipped to the back of my mind as I focused on family and it was never mentioned during the offboarding process. HR sent me a bill requesting 30k+ reimbursement, and has been unwilling to negotiate based on the difficult circumstances of my departure. As well as the fact that I worked for 80% of the required term. To top it off, I've made 10-15 calls to my supposed HR contacts with nearly all of them being ignored , and have been forced into waiting days-weeks for irregular e-mail responses. HR ruins what is a otherwise a great company, and has created a nightmare for myself.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
