Pros

Once they threw a 'party' for everyones good work, and gave us hot dogs and sodas!

Cons

Where to even begin... Managers that don't care about their teams and only care about metrics that will please the higher ups. Managers who don't respond to internal emails. Customers who never get a response and are given the run around. Managers have no clue whats happening and 85% of them don't care. Disregard for the time of employees, a trend where last minute meetings are often dropped on calendars where you're expected to present, with less than a couple hours notice. Poor communication cross departmentally and little to no company morale. If you're looking for a role with little to no internal promotions (18 months before you're allowed to even be considered for a promotion once you're hired), where your managers only give you feedback when its negative, and a stale corporate environment, then this is the place for you.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
