Pros

- Salary is OK - Cannot honestly think on another pro

Cons

- No work-life balance - Intense focus on cost reduction takes a big hit to benefits, merit increases, increasing layoffs, furloughs and asking people to do more work with less team members - Intransigent Leadership with very low capability to give directions and analyze information. Data and insights need to be spoon-fed as they barely can understand charts or even manipulate a spreadsheet, and since they are continuously rotating between leadership positions they never really know enough about their current role to make educated decisions - No identity, no brand recognition. The company operates focused on it's stock price and communications to investors and doesn't really care what product/service they want to be known for - People need to behave as jerks in order to progress in this company, so expect a very harsh environment - Mixed communications and directions. The leadership juggles with the things they need to be compliant (diversity and inclusion, people development, avoiding turnover, recognition, safety, security...) and things they are told to do which in the majority of cases it's the complete opposite. On one hand they send a nice and pretty company-wide communication stating how much they care about employees and how strong of a company we are but on the other hand they require you to select a fixed % of bad performers within your group (even if they're not) and to present a plan for FTE reductions throughout the year. - As employee do not expect to be considered a valuable asset to this company, even if they try to say otherwise, (which they don't really do often anyway), it is hard to listen to the HR leaders and realize that 15% annual turnover is good enough for them, 10% of which is people leaving voluntarily, that's right, every year ten percent of the workforce decides to leave and half of the reminding five percent are laid off, but the senior leadership think that's ok because people are not what's important for this company, results are important and how those results impact cost and therefore revenue, stock price and the company's image to investors

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.
