Pros

Years ago working at Hertz looked promising . Upper management was a blend of people who worked their way up and others who joined the brand . There was actual talent and endless opportunities if you sought them out .

Cons

Fast forward to current day it has become nothing more than a vicious popularity club . Instead of promotions being given on merit and performance your a shoe in if you hang with the right people or hail from off airport .

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.
