Pros

Some great people to work with. Some co-workers and leads make this place a little bearable.

Cons

Management is in shambles. Pretends that there is no retaliation or favoritism, but there is through and through. If you know the right people, they'll get you in and you'll enjoy the perks of their position and power. You get a 10 minute break and a 20 minute lunch. They will find ways to screw you out of money and bonuses. They had a luncheon to celebrate a record breaking month and days later, rewarded the same people with layoffs. The HR rep controls alot more than they should. They underpay for the kind of demands they have. Serious lack of sick time available. God forbid you or anyone in your family is sick. You'll get docked for missing days.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
