Pros

Salary is always on time. Good opportunity to learn how to deal with difficult personalities.

Cons

No clear policy on the annual salary incriment, which is always below the inflation rate, and had recently been put on hold "due to the current market situation". No career path. Promotions don't happen within, the leaders are almost always external hires. Very difficult and unrealistic executive team. The company officially have 50 hour work weeks, and they expect you to stay in late without getting any overtime pay. You will find ethics and values... on posters only.

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.
