Great Company to Work

Pros

Work life balance is genuinely solid. The schedule is predictable, the workload is manageable, and leadership actually respects your time. Remote flexibility is real, not something they just advertise. The benefits package is strong, and my manager has been consistently supportive, reasonable, and easy to work with. It feels like a place where you can build a long career without burning yourself out.

Cons

Cross functional exposure is limited. As a systems engineer, you mostly stay in the systems lane. There is less interaction with electro mechanical teams, CAD and design groups, and integration and test compared to what you see at more dynamic engineering organizations. The pathways to rotate across disciplines exist, but they are slow and not built into the normal workflow.

Work life balance is not the best but it’s worth it
