Pros

The people who work in engineering are top tier: in their integrity, in their knowledge, and in their genuine friendship. Couldn't ask for better coworkers. Also, plenty of challenging and interesting projects with a good balance of employees vs management determining what they work on.

Cons

Corporate is constantly chipping away at financial incentives to work here in a technical role. Benefits aren't great value (health insurance is among the worst in the industry), advancement opportunities are very limited for individual contributors, and there's no transparency about how your compensation is determined each year.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
