Pros
Great coworkers, decent benefits - health insurance is actually decent
Cons
Low pay - Annual raises never break 3% and bonuses are not guaranteed Very difficult to get promoted - I had outstanding reviews every year yet every time I broached the topic of a promotion, I was always brushed aside. It felt as if the goal posts were constantly being moved, no matter what I did. Risk aversion - For a company that supposedly wants to break into IoT, Leviton is doing great at dragging its feet when it comes to embracing new technologies and ideas. Management and senior engineers talk about wanting to bring in new blood, yet any time a new engineer is brought on board, their ideas are always disregarded. If Leviton wants new ideas and expertise in modern technology, then why are they so risk averse? Honestly, unless Leviton learns to take risk and really invest in quality R&D engineering (not temporary oversea contractors), they're not going to get anywhere in IoT. Younger engineers' ideas often disregarded - I mentioned this already but I'll elaborate more. We've brought on very talented and ambitious engineers both fresh out of school and with some experience under their belts. I've seen excellent work and ideas completely dismantled and tossed aside by engineering management and senior engineering because "it's not how we've been doing things here". Again, risk aversion biting Leviton. Rampant nepotism in management - Certain members of engineering management are very blatant in their favoritism with certain employees and people they hire. Both myself and others have gotten passed up for promotions time and time again because we weren't on the favorite list by these managers.
