Pros

A lot of good people who are trying their best to stay sane and many pleasant to work with despite difficult conditions. It is highly dependent upon what position you are in for what your experience will be as well as what your end of year bonuses will be like.

Cons

Upper level management in a tailspin for what to do and what direction to go in. They seem to get lost in the product offering as does everyone. Some projects seem to be forgotten. They will simultaneously push for speed knowing this can and will impact quality. The company is stuck in a hardware based mindset but trying to shift gears into software. This affords a lot of difficulties especially when inflexible and onerous quality procedures attempt to mesh with digital software which requires quick response and adaptation to constantly changing market. Horrific siloing keeps teams from communicating basic things to each other like updates to software/hardware that will break compatibility with other products down the line.

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
