Pros

When working on important programs, there is lots of money for tooling and prototypes.

Cons

No money for raises. Frequent years with no merit increases for the whole company. Limited advancement opportunities for non-software technical talent. Most future US hiring now targeting Atlanta. Most technical hiring is now in Mexico or China. Product management frequently makes major changes mid-program, but demands schedules not change resulting in long days and working weekends. Everyone expects new "unlimited" vacation policy will be used to severely limit vacation taken. Every year the benefits are significantly reduced. In 2017 we lost the company contribution to dental, earned vacation, and flexibility to work from home, even occasionally. In previous years we had already been limited to expensive high deductible health plans, lost our company contribution for vision, lost our company contribution to our HSA, and lost the ability to borrow from our 401(k). Morale is so low that employees openly discuss state of their job search.

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
