Pros

Salary is good. Vacation allowance is good. Great engineering talent pool.

Cons

Benefits were premier up to 5 years ago but declined to meet industry standards. This included medical benefits, bonuses, and stock options. Pension contributions stopped a few years ago. Merit pay stopped a few years ago to allow the industry to catch up. Some engineers were re-graded lower. There were seven sectors a decade ago, now it's down to just one.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
