Pros

Few. Ground-level engineers and technicians are as dedicated to their roles as anyone could ask for.

Cons

Many. Generally incompetent upper management. Peter principle to an unfortunate extreme. Meetings to discuss preparatory meetings for meetings. Massive appetites for data without any understanding for what the data means. Absence of integrity. A manager who has an affair with a female subordinate? Subordinate fired, manager moved to new location but promoted. A manager falsifies revenue figures to make his all important numbers? Promoted. These people are hiding behind an industry with high margin and the bankrolls of their backers. Avoid at all costs.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
