Pros

Flexible hours. Cool products and site.

Cons

High stress environment. Management constantly trying to hold unrealistic schedules and willing to work people to the bone to achieve - even though the customer doesn’t really need the product by that arbitrary date. Willing to sacrifice quality to ensure dates and costs are met but unwilling to admit it. Company squeezing profits from employees by giving unsatisfactory raises while doing tens of billions in stock buyback. Benefits were strong but getting eroded every year. Management out of touch with employees’ worth. Believe working for the company is a privilege when other companies have much better work cultures and pay more. Make sure you get top dollar on the way in because no one will fight to get you a raise once you’re in the door.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
