Pros
I've learned how to spot red flags
Cons
- Zero work life balance - No accountability from management for management / staffing failures. Engineers staffed on projects will get dressed down for management failures while putting 65+ hours a week in on their projects. - Everyone is burnt out. Managers do not communicate pertinent project information correctly due to also working crazy hours. Ultimately all blame falls on project engineers. - The rate at which this place burns through Project Engineer and lower levels is not good. I've worked under one manager who has successfully blamed their project shortfalls on two juniors who were then subsequently let go. - See points above, extremely toxic management culture as well as work culture.
