Pros

PACCAR is a stable company...decent benefits and retirement plans. Lots of opportunities to move into several divisions and develop a pretty decent work history that can be as diverse or specialized as you want it to be.

Cons

Salaries are below average for industry if you aren't a manager. But to earn the big bucks, you will have to jump through a lot of hoops and follow some Draconian rules. Big idea thinking or outside the box thinking is not really encouraged or if an idea is voiced, you need to be wary of opportunistic co-workers who will try and take credit for it. And once you reach a certain age, you will be stuck with no way out other than being down-sized or if you get lucky, can retire. It's not experience they want, it's getting people at half the age and half the salary. They make no effort to allow these people to be trained and mistakes that could have been avoided occur.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
