Pros

The pay is decent, but not what it used to be with the recent layoffs and cut backs.

Cons

It's a really uptight atmosphere. If you think you'd enjoy working at Google, you will not like it there. It's a sad place to work and all of upper management, have very little care or value of employees. I saw people with 20 years with the company, get dismissed with a week's notice, some with none. Like many companies, the employees are great, but "management" is feckless, and biased. It is the antithesis of what happy, tightknit family-run businesses are about.

Pros

Benefits and 401K are really good.

Cons

Worked for Duke Power back in late 1990s before the metoo movement. Went to HR about feeling harassed and they pretty much said it might be best for me to leave. Manager that harassed me ended up being promoted to get him away from managing people. Many companies do this. Promote people that are problems in order to get them away from the job they could not do.

Pros

Good experienced people and that is it.

Cons

Being a smart competent engineer does not mean a thing in this company. You will see unqualified people moving up and making important decisions (technical sometimes) while you as an engineer will be ignored and continue to be undervalued. Engineers pay is just disrespectful and laughable. Avoid at all costs.
