Pros

My direct team was great.

Cons

Work-life balance can be nonexistent depending on time of year, if you work with customers. Unrealistic expectations of employees and at time disjointed. To much office politics to wade through. People are consistently favored or treated better than others due to associations with the Founder/President/CEO or simply because they’ve been around for a long time. You’re expected to put certain people in the organization on a pedestal and worship them and their ideals. At times, cult-like. The company had much better culture a decade ago.

Pros

Decent pay, good work culture and colleagues, interesting technical work, great engineering equipment. The company/management has always been super accommodating. Good rapport with manager and project lead. Work at an IC level is definitely recognized more than most other companies I have worked for, especially when one is motivated and takes initiative. Company is also very fiscally disciplined and maintains strict budgets. This is definitely the best job I’ve had in the last 10 years.

Cons

Work may feel unstructured sometimes but not uncommon with R&D roles
