Pros

Overtime pay can help you financially.

Cons

Most project managers have no idea what it takes to design a product. Often make unrealistic schedules and the team is forced into working a ton of overtime. The benefit is mediocre. if compared to the private sector. The company has no real attraction to keep young talents for long term career commitment. Almost all of the top notch people that joined the same time I did are gone.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
