Pros

The pay here is excellent, especially for the area. Pragmatic attitude towards hybrid work. Management culture continues to support diversity.

Cons

Vacation offering is pathetic. 10 days for new hires. No negotiating, even with 20 years experience. My peers are being offered 4-5 weeks. This is the least-collaborative engineering culture I've ever been in. Product development projects get one design engineer, so be prepared to keep churning out solutions because nobody else is contributing any. You are completely on your own. Peers are content to watch you flounder. 90% of my project's team is in China, so you're going to be in late-night and early-morning calls regularly. They might give lip-service to work-life balance, but when your day is chopped up from 6 am to 10 pm, your entire waking life is fit around work.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
