Pros

Remote-first policy with decent equipment and flexible hours. Interesting technical challenges, especially in the areas of automation and network. Some smart and dedicated colleagues in technical teams.

Cons

Company culture can feel arrogant and dismissive of individual voices. Management lacks empathy and tends to micromanage or shift priorities without consulting engineers. Psychological safety is low — open criticism is not well received, which discourages honest feedback. Poor handling of long-term health issues. HR and management showed little initiative to resolve an extended medical leave situation, which ultimately led to a mutual termination. Limited career growth and recognition, especially for those not aligned with internal politics. Communication often felt top-down, and transparency was lacking during critical periods.
