Pros

WFH, work pattern days, will pay for relevant tuition

Cons

mentor kissed me on the neck, seniors assume I'm HR, managers don't listen, manager who has no idea what I do will tell me how I performed in the year while forgetting my awards/deliverables/customer feedback, my work gets attributed to other people, literally people have attributed my ideas to men in the room after they just repeated it because I was too quite, there's a figure head in the org chart where I should be, only loud confident people get promoted or people who put pragmas in cpp who play tennis with the managers get promoted, half work week is spent in unnecessary meetings that could be emails or meetings about how we can be physically safer. Managers have no accountability. managers are happy to make 5+ employees sit around for 30 minutes for the manager to realise they can't make it to the meeting. pay discrepancy between men doing my job and myself is 20-30k.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
