Pros

Everyone working here is generally mature and helpful. Haven't had any workplace conflicts or disputes. Lower level managers actually understand what the engineering process is like. The pay and benefits are decent. Managers accommodate the needs of employees' personal lives (needing to take time off on short notice, leaving in the middle of the day to run an errand, that sort of thing).

Cons

The total amount of time off is about half of what it ought to be, because of national corporate policy giving fixed allotments of PTO to employees.

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.
