Pros

Leadership change in 2025 is driving high levels of transparency, consistency, and accountability across the organization. Standards are being re-established for success and the business system being introduced is a fantastic step. Immense growth opportunity in data centers. Challenging environment that breeds success for those who are open-minded against new approaches to win. Culture of discipline continues to be developed. Tons of growth opportunities and tremendous learning environment with extremely talented and high performing teams (in pockets)

Cons

Consistency has been missing. Direction has not been strategic and often focused on short-term results with deviations from long range plan. Functionalization creates dysfunction and a fake one team environment.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
