Pros

Pay good lip service to being about the people, but are not. Culture at the top level of management is not inclusive, at all so if you make it to the good ole boy network you are safe. If you want to live Game of Thrones, come work here in mid-upper, executive management.

Cons

Duplicitous, deceitful, underhanded, Not too many adjectives that are negative I would not use here. 100% watch your back at all times as the culture is gestapo like. I left a significant position due to not being able to deal with nonsense here, and my life has been 1000x better for it.

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.
