Pros

The people are great and have some of the best knowledge in the industry.

Cons

The Senior Management team is out of touch with reality of customer service. They seem to think when business is down instead of looking to improve customer service they just raise the prices. The customers are completely overlooked and it takes massive jumping through hoops to get the simplest of tasks accomplished. The field level spends 80% of their day fighting internally to service their customers. Whether it is through fighting with National Accounts or Invoicing and Billing issues. Their health insurance leaves much to be desired and is the worst plan I have ever encountered. They recently changed their 401K so they do not pay it out until the end of the year. Meaning the interest that would have accrued is depleted. The technical software tools are cumbersome and sometimes just do not work. There is a high level of frustration from the field teams trying to jump over internal obstacles just to service customers.

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.
