Pros

They offer a lot of perks that you come to expect from corporations their size. There are a lot of very hard working and good people employed, which you get to work alongside.

Cons

Senior management is very out of touch with what it takes to fulfill the duties that are expected of employees. The expectations and workload seem to grow while there are no improvements to tools needed to do the job and no man power is added. Tools (systems, software, etc.) are poor for the size of the company. Work-life balance is poor for above stated reasons.

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
