      Pros

      Great culture since the bnsf|tech restructure Interesting work and ability to move across the org Great manager (at least for me) Work life balance is great

      Cons

      Can get unorganized from time to time as the companies tries new things Some pretty egregious ways of doing things due to the old tech debt left before the reorg but slowly getting better Slow-moving for pretty much everything

      Pros

      This is a great place to start and grow your career, especially as an MT, with tons of opportunities to take on projects and explore what interests you. Leadership at every level is genuinely supportive and approachable, and people across the company are always willing to teach, mentor, and help you succeed. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the Business Resource Groups really add to the sense of community and development.

      Cons

      There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming figuring out what path to focus on. Balancing day-to-day work with all the development options can be a bit challenging depending on your role and workload.
