      Pros

      - Engineers are smart, driven, and supportive to one another - Compensation and benefits on par with other companies in industry

      Cons

      - Management lacks focus, preferring short term results even if the "results" interfere with the long-term vision they are pushing - Unclear promotion criteria within teams - Lack of clarity in job responsibility and title - Although training material on DEI and harassment is insightful and well done, support from management is lacking, even given evidence of toxic work environments

      Pros

      Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

      Cons

      Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
