Pros

Engineering coworkers are helpful and kind Amount of PTO is above avg Heathy work/life balance in the engineering groups, for the most part I think

Cons

Below average compensation. Low enough that the pros don't quite make up for it. Also there's a large variation of salaries at the same level (for example two principal process engineers might have a 20K delta in base salary).

Pros

Great people Good work-life balance, on the production team at least Fairly competitive pay structure for advanced roles if compared with companies in the valley Reasonable performance expectations

Cons

Boneheaded senior management. Director level and below are down to earth and capable of executing, but senior management all brought in from other companies in the last year or two are determined to fail while having feel-good company-wide chats about inclusion instead of building a realistic roadmap. Pay is also very much NOT competitive for labor employees, or for advanced roles when compared with any company just 20 miles east or south.
