Pros

Decent pay (not for what's asked of you, though)

Cons

This company just created two new executive positions, just had its 3rd most profitable year, and is moving work to Mexico. They tell all of us to expect nice, big bonuses this year. Yet, 10-15% of the salaried workforce will lose their jobs because of "the economy." All of us in engineering roles tied to production are overworked and don't have enough support to work at the pace they ask us to without having it impact our lives at home. Everyone should have read the writing on the wall when they decided to hire a bunch of big wigs from outside the company who pretended to be like us. Steer clear, it'll be known as "Juan Deere" before you know it! John may got a multimillion-dollar raise when some of us weren't allowed to work during COVID. But, hey, at least we gave them the nice 830hp tractor they'll tote around for the next decade before they canned us. WHAT GOOD IS A PENSION IF YOU JUST GET RID OF US BEFORE WE GET TO USE IT?

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
