Pros

The industry is stable Great mission Bakken values People are nice and down to earth Market pay Convenient office locations

Cons

Promotions are difficult Pressure from robotics No truly new cool products anymore as they prefer to cut costs vs invest into innovation Silos Promotions are difficult. You have to go work elsewhere 2-3 years and then come back to get higher pay and role CEO New CFO that came from Nissan to cut costs. Nissan is heading bankrupt under him. There is some mismanagement and poor planning involved: they layoff people around the end of the fiscal year and hire more to fill the same roles months later

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
