Pros

Interesting products,challenging work, very capable engineering staff

Cons

Management purports to use data to make decisions, however, most are made based on personality of the presenter. Backbiting, and working outside the chain of command are the rule of the day since a re-organization that has resulted in less communication and "silo-ing" of responsibilities.

Pros

Cool projects. 9/80 schedule. Decent benefits.

Cons

Toxic management. Old boys club mentality. Burn out culture. Resistant to change. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited and you are made to feel guilty for using PTO and penalized for exceeding 20 days. Management targets workers and plays favorites. Open mocking of other employees based on knowledge they shouldnt have. Very clicky, kinda like high-school. Located and in the absolute middle of no-where Florida. Those that have been there a long time only stay there because they live near by. Under market value for salary. Care more about optics than productivity. Set unrealistic timelines, workers are penalized for not making them but management is never held to the same standard. Everyone plays the blame game instead of owning up to their actions.
