Pros

- Challenging work - OK compensation (but get worse each year) - Relative stable company in this bad economy.

Cons

- No work/life balance. - In fire fighting mode all the times, reactive mode. - Lower level managers (in MPG) have access to you anytime (late night and/or weekends) - Low level managers show no respect to teams - No vacation time allocated. Need VP approval for more than 2 weeks but most of the times your managers won't even consider it so VP does not need to approve. - Don't know who our HR representative is. If there is an issue with managers don't know who to turn to. - Engineers are overloaded - No support and encouragement for higher education

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
