Pros

If you are under a good Manager, there is work/life balance. Good Benefits

Cons

For IT, Pay is way under market value, because the base themselves as a suburb of DFW. You only get a 3% merit increase, if you get more than that "they took it from someone else". No compensation alignment. No growth opportunities unless you want to be Management. Silos managed by the perceptions of higher execs.

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
