      Pros

      Worked with some of the best people I've ever met. Some people get to work on exciting projects, but it's usually the same 10 people who go from one strategic program to the next, and the rest get left to do sustaining work. Senior management has good intentions, BUT..... they believe that no news is good news, and this is not true in the information age we live in today.

      Cons

      Young managers in product engineering display extreme levels of passive aggressiveness that has driven away most of the younger, talented staff. Senior leadership doesn't understand the results of employee surveys designed to gain insight into the hostile work environment which is palpable on the campus.

      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.
