Pros

Good colleagues and staff who want to do well in difficult circumstances

Cons

Sadly we have lost our way during the past few years. The constant desire for a healthy share price, has led to cutbacks, outsourcing and a very overworked workforce. We were very short staffed in so many departments, so many departments are stressed and work extra time with no overtime money. The constant redundancies, or threat of redundancy over the past couple of years, has led to severe apathy. It’s a shame as it had the potential to be great..

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.
