Pros

-Great support staff -salary wasn't too bad for SWFL

Cons

- Holy turmoil with the board and upper management, C-suite is a revolving door - There is zero job security in many ways, so watch out...my first 4 months I saw three departments lay off a boat load of employees, this was pre-pandemic. Then came the pandemic of 2020 where the company laid of thousands of employees. The travel industry is a leading indicator of how the market is doing, and it was doing very poorly. The company has since gotten out of bankruptcy with the help of private equity, but they are already on their third CEO (Kathy, Paul, and now the new guy). - Post pandemic the company believes everyone in corporate should return to the office full time to work, so if you want that flex schedule it will be sorely lacking at Hertz.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
