Pros

Free parking, coworkers are excellent. Pay is decent.

Cons

Team leaders on a power trip are allowed to bully workers. The work loads are ludicrous; no one could ever possibly do the amount of work that is expected.

Pros

Salary is good and therefore the company is full with people doing nothing

Cons

The Digital competences are 20 light years behind, all work is being done by agencies and contracters. I've never been in a more incompetent digital environment, where 90% of the employees just are creating PPTs and drowning in politics.

So far in 6 and half years my opinion has slowly dropped over time but is in free fall right now.

Pros

The goal to help improve the lives of billions of people around the world is great and I believe most of our products are great.

Cons

In 6 and a half years I have been dangled opportunities and raises to bring me more inline with my experience and skills as a senior field engineer. The carrot keeps moving and I get the stick instead. Verbal promises and hints sont lead to anything. The "just wait, changes and opportunities are coming" bit has been a way for management to keep me doing what I am and not changing roles or leaving.
