Pros

Work with leading technology. The best Central Office product in the industry

Cons

No functional management. I worked directly for a Director who had 40+ direct reports and supported none of them very well. The pay is on the cheap side. Human Resources provides no support for relocated on-site workers. Company only invests in the commercial side, they view their engineers as cannon fodder and have turned what was always a difficult job into a super toxic environment.

Pros

Great manager, hybrid work, flexibly if you work hard, good benefits, lots of growth. The culture is fantastic.

Cons

Lot of restructuring, needs a directory of who manages what, titles are vague and don't reflect what you actually do but everyone is super nice.

Pros

People tend to help one another

Cons

Pay is terrible compared to industry standards, no bonus/stock option, and upper management has been micro-managing the department for over a year as of 2025.
