Pros

Getting paid is great but having no time to do anything else but work is great for workaholics. I love it when IT pushes another Win 11 update that takes 30 minutes to load so I actually have time to use the restroom.

Cons

This place is a modern day sweat shop. Putting 14 hour days most days and weekends! The company is so cheap now they won’t buy boards to do our job and expect a 30% increase in productivity by using AI on top of 5% yearly workload increase. You do the compounding math. How about pumping up my pay that much at the beginning of the year and not 7 months behind. They pump out so many devices nobody can keep up and the quality of our products has gone way downhill. Too many meetings. I would rather be mopping floors or mowing grass to get my life back.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
