Pros

Decent 401k match of 6% right from day 1, no vesting period Alright PTO compensation at 17 days as starting employee, with option to purchase up to 10 days Internal process to learn design guidelines was good Decent co-workers within BU both locally and abroad

Cons

Engineering jobs being moved from US to Mexico and Germany to Romania to reduce costs Lots of meetings making it hard to get work done Watched many star employees leave after being overworked into the ground Managers have poor communication with project teams and how many resources they need Project teams never staffed enough Requests for more resources to meet project timing always responded with it's not in the budget American and German management communication is poor and not well aligned Work life balance is spotty No additional PTO until 8 years of employment Meetings with China outside of working hours at times like 5am and 10pm Not sure what point the company goals serve, you're disposable like at any other American company

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
