Pros

Positives are the benefits package (decent 401k, ESSP) and many of the co-workers are really nice people.

Cons

The work atmosphere or "culture" here is completely abysmal. Fueled by clueless senior management who are completely tuned-out to providing a functional /healthy work environment. Sr. Mgmt is completely inept at motivating their work force or understanding how to treat people decently. Sr. Management's bottom line is more $$'s & churn out the work fast-faster- faster. The vision is strictly making the Qtrly/Annual revenue amounts. They encourage shortcuts in product design and quality just to get the product out the door and the profits $$ in their pockets. As a result the engineer teams trying to produce the end product are never fully appreciated for their efforts. Truly a "Grade D" organization. I wouldn't recommend this employer to my worst enemy.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
