Pros

Cutting-edge projects in smart building tech and sustainability. Collaborative team with strong technical expertise. Good work-life balance (flexible options in some roles). Competitive benefits (healthcare, 401k, etc.). Global impact—work contributes to energy-efficient solutions.

Cons

Bureaucracy can slow down decision-making. Workload varies—sometimes high pressure during project deadlines. Limited remote roles in certain departments. Career advancement paths could be clearer. Older systems in some teams need modernization.

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.
